Cabinet spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella while stating that a January 2015 Presidential election was “possible,” noted that astrologers had given different auspicious dates and the President would choose the best date.

Cabinet spokesman and Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told the weekly cabinet news briefing that President Mahinda Rajapaksa was constitutionally empowered to call a Presidential election after the completion of four years of his six year tenure on November 19 and therefore he has the prerogative to call a Presidential election after that day.

Asked whether it would be in January, Minister Rambukwella said ’possible’.

Minister Rambukwella also said astrologers had given different auspicious days to conduct the Presidential poll after November 19 and the President would choose the best one.(Sandun Jayasekera)
