Colombo, March 30 (Daily Mirror) - An early General Election will create political unrest as the ultimate result of it would be a hung Parliament, UNP Deputy Leader Ruwan Wijewardene said yesterday.
Mr. Wijewardene came up with this remark when speaking to journalists after meeting the Mahanayaka Theras of Asgiriya and Malwatta chapters in Kandy.
“No party will get a majority in Parliament at a General Election and this will result in a political crisis.there would be a turnaround of the stability in Sri Lanka that the government has managed to earn, in the event of an early General Election,” Mr. Wijewardene said.
Mr. Wijewardene also stated that some in the SLPP and even in opposition parties including SJB favour an early General Election. President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s idea is to hold a Presidential Election first in accordance with the constitution.
“We are confident that a majority of SLPP and SJB will support Mr. Wickremesinghe if he contests as a common candidate,” he added. Further, he said neither the SJB nor the National People’s Power (NPP) is a challenge to the UNP.

not an early election, any election will send 225 home. at least half of you will go home this time. You are inflicted by fear psychology. you have done more harm to this country and its people that is why you are scared to go for election. People are waiting for revenge. but this time it is their votes will put you out of the house.

That's what Rajapakshes, who will lose the elections, want to happen. It is either them abd their stooges or nothing yo anybody. Mr 10% has come back to creat anarchy....after he knows nothing
So Much Hatred for This Kind of Politician’s Monday, 01 April 2024 05:15 AM
Totally agree. You can hear from the following negative comments on this topic how much the people are suffering and wanting for these morons to be eliminated in the next elections.
Voter Saturday, 30 March 2024 10:18 AM
That’s exactly what Rajapakses want….chaos and unstable for them to fish in troubled water…they aren’t bothered about country or masses..
Dragging on Shamelessly Sunday, 31 March 2024 04:47 AM
Absolutely. The public needs to be very that they might pull a stun anytime now to get in votes. These morons are dragging shamelessly to collect more high salaries plus perks of all kinds like there is no tomorrow. Most have children and will eventually be shipped out overseas using funds of all kinds!
Sokrates Saturday, 30 March 2024 10:26 AM
You can't be so stupid and believe in your own statements about the UNP's electoral success. The UNP will do no better than last time. Most people have already realized that Ranil is just a charlatan.
Conduct a Survey and Judge for yourself Saturday, 30 March 2024 10:32 AM
Get a reputable firm to do a survey first than. You’ll be surprised how many are waiting to throw your party and the others who got SL into this crisis. No point giving statements so that this miserable situation will continue to benefit your kind of politician to live a lavish lifestyle with all the perks provided by the taxpayer’s money and the average person is struggling to make ends meet.
Ama Saturday, 30 March 2024 10:56 AM
In this instance, your argument is TRUE and VALID. Hon Prez has all the required knowledge and expertise and he deserve reelection to the office. However, he lack the courage to arrest those people who had robbed public money.
BIGGEST MISTAKE IN PRESIDENTS POLITICAL JOURNEY. Saturday, 30 March 2024 02:41 PM
AMA, WELL SAID. UNFORTUNATELY MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HIS POLITICAL JOURNEY BY NOT ACTIVATING AND OR FOLLOWING THROUGH THE SUPREME COURTS FINDLINGS. PEOPLE HAVE CRIED OUT FOR JUSTICE SINCE RANIL TOOK OVER BUT HE HAS FAILED MISERABLY TO HEAR THE MASSES. I DOUBT HE HAS TIME TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE THAT WILL HAUNT HIM EVEN AFTER RETIREMENT. PEOPLEWANTED HIM TO BRING ALL THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COUNTRY'S DOWNFALL BEFORE A COURT OF LAW, HE FAILED.

A political discard trying to fly again, wishful thinking, the people voted You all out the last time,and this time it will be worse, wait and see the wrath of the people. UNP is now history. Ranil and you all destroyed the grand old party.
Patcitz Saturday, 30 March 2024 03:25 PM
Who are you to comment about the POLITICAL situation in SRI Lanka as you guys were REJECTED BY THE VERY PEOPLE in the last election; the party now called DEAD UNP!
Patcitz Saturday, 30 March 2024 03:27 PM
Mind it, UNP is no more; but SJB and NPP are existing parties to which people have some hope to elect them to office. UNP IS DEAD and is no more.
ROSH Saturday, 30 March 2024 03:48 PM
Of course the product of unelected master debating president wants stay in power forever. We need educated minority leaders in the parliament to run the country. We don’t need individuals who prepared to spend night with unelected master debating president on his double bed on mile high club. He loves change the climate on his double bed so steamy. We must use our vote carefully elect individuals who can serve my country from all corners of the country. Otherwise we all will struggle to walk like himself by spending one night stand with unelected master debating president
wickrama wjayasiri Saturday, 30 March 2024 05:41 PM
Yes, Yes, let's decide with a referendum like the Uncle of the Uncle
ROSH Saturday, 30 March 2024 08:44 PM
Of course unrest in unelected master debating president’s double bed after the election.

What else can these Ranil's Boys say other than repeating what Ranil says?
Roberta Flack Saturday, 30 March 2024 10:48 PM
Ruwan you are talking nonsense as usual
Jarashakthi Palangedara Sunday, 31 March 2024 01:34 AM
We'll see how many gonas are still in Sl paddy field to listen and vote there PINAS to make this SL to END!! Then cry for years with no food, no water, no electricity, no medicine etc. Pinas are going around the world with families and enjoying!! The gang of Bank thieves are waiting (RW, RK, Nayagam, Aloysi, Arun Mahen etc.) to take it over and continue.

President election should be conducted, country needs a stable president for the other government institutions to run properly, basil only thinks about his party survival, not the country. For a bankrupt country 2 elections can not be conducted same time.
Waco Sunday, 31 March 2024 04:21 AM
You go and sleep without just talking . You all are rejected by the people. Go ,go , go and sleep.
Citizen2023 Sunday, 31 March 2024 11:52 AM
Better keep your mouth shut. The poor masses of this country will decide whom and which party to vote. You hv no business to comment on the forthcoming elections bcoz ppl didn't want you guys and that's why you n your party were completed rejected at the last election.
UNP will suffer, but other parties will bring about political stablity after an election Sunday, 31 March 2024 04:51 PM
Ruwan is talking of everything as UNPer. Of course President will be a lame duck if General Election called, and UNP is complete failure. Even A-level student can see through Ruwan's deceitful claim.
M.K. Meeripane (Finance Ministry) Monday, 01 April 2024 09:55 AM
Hay man, you are just a peanut for politics. Backing RW and washing his clothes will not make any sense be wise enough to join with Sajith and learn politics properly.
