No one to vote for. Even AKD seems dodgy after his performance at COPE where he did not do the rhetoric he does in his rallies and take SLC to task.

It is high time that Ranil Wickremesinghe finally lets the Sri Lankan people vote in a democratically free manner on his policies and those of the SLPP vassals! He seems to have understood that a further postponement of the election could possibly result in political unrest! On the other hand, he probably lives in the hope (in the belief) that the apparent (!) economic calm, which is a misjudgment when the facts are realistically analyzed, could save his head and secure power again! The only thing that matters now is his commitment to keeping his election promise for 2024!!! He should use the time now to think about how to spend his life meaningfully after his disastrous defeat!!!

To prove his point, he must fund the local government election, at the earliest possible. Until then, no hope of elections.

Who are you to postpone president or parliament elections? Once your term is over no-one will listen to you other than your gang and Rajapkshes gang. Many officials will not listen to you and you will have to leave with disgrace.

Whatever he has done or doing we all have to be grateful for him to come forward and take the challenge after aragalya. All other leaders got cold feet and did not want to take the challenge for the sake of country and the people. As we all remember the country was in a terrible mess. Also it's time for him to step down and let the people select their leader.

Dear Mr President, why don't you, Mahinda, Dinesh. Chamal, Nirmal, Wimal, Udaya and other old politicians handover the power to younger generations for the betterment of our country.

Elections? if we are to believe his word. If by chance there is a fair and free election -what this country deserves is an independent, corrupt free candidate who is there for the good of the country-like what France had Charles DE Gaulle in the early 1960's.
