    parliament is already a retiremet home (aged care home).

    Sambo Saturday, 16 March 2024 08:09 AM

    Alliances will not work this time since the public have suffered under all these regimes.

    Jude Saturday, 16 March 2024 08:30 AM

    Taking in all loses Why not CBK !???

    melville perera Saturday, 16 March 2024 08:34 AM

    OMG what another ahindas alliance???

    CitizenP Saturday, 16 March 2024 09:02 AM

    Same feather flock together...

    Don’t EVER vote in those Responsible for the current crisis’s Saturday, 16 March 2024 09:43 AM

    A waste of time. Anyone involved in the past to cripple SL into the current crisis is NEVER EVER to be elected again into parliament. The younger generation has had enough of these old fellas and resulting in their future looking bleak in SL.

    Why did not she join the NPP she had a good post to AKD in 2005 and why didn't she consider the stronger NPP than SJB? This year's election is going to be a big match in this country. Never in Sri Lankan politics do we see this type of political confrontation or struggle for power. Ranil is no limbo? MR is in Jeopardy? Sajith is between fear and hope? NPP is in full swing..

    Power hungry Sajith will form alliance even with Prabakaran if he is alive. People can't be fooled any longer especially, after the Easter attacks.

    මහ බැංකු හොරා Saturday, 16 March 2024 11:00 AM

    Sajith, Stay away from this women if you have any shame. You remember what she said about your father.

    SJB so desperate for power Sunday, 17 March 2024 08:37 AM

    Sajith ruined the UNP because he couldn't get into power. Now he's ready to get into bed with any old Tom, Dick and Harry to try achieve is ambition.

    Gabriella Saturday, 16 March 2024 12:28 PM

    Are these people ( CBK) shameless ? This woman robbed this country “blind”. Has everyone forgotten the locomotive scandal, the transformer that was left to rust when the bridge was too narrow to continue and other scams ? Why don’t we go retro and appoint Chandrika as President, Paddy Maharajah as President controller, and Sanath Gunathilake as “First Lady” ?

    Sam Silva Saturday, 16 March 2024 05:49 PM

    Sorry to say, we as srilankan, we have a very short memory. These politicians will sell their own mother for their bus fare.

    Man Sunday, 17 March 2024 06:15 AM

    Of course!

    A Saturday, 16 March 2024 12:46 PM

    If its good why not

    The Modern Voter Saturday, 16 March 2024 03:21 PM

    This time close to the election all current and former corrupt political leaders will stand together in one front keeping all their subtle differences aside while the vast majority of the people will stand together democratically in the opposite front against them. The upcoming election will be historically the most sensational one in that respect.

    Volker Metzger Saturday, 16 March 2024 04:16 PM

    Without any doubt, Premadasa and the people around him can at best only describe themselves as "pre-school students" of politics in relation to Chandrika, her political wisdom, her knowledge and her world political experience! You can learn a lot from her in many ways! Beyond the human and political differences between Chandrika and Sajith, an ally of her caliber could bring electoral benefits to the SJB! But it's hard to imagine whether Chandrika will give in to it! I think she knows how to correctly assess Premadasa and his party's power play and is pursuing other interests and goals!

    CBK was instrumental in bringing in Yahapalana and ruining the country. In fact, the current crisis was a result of 2015-19 yahapalana

    Man Sunday, 17 March 2024 06:15 AM

    @ Lanka; Yes, NPP / JVP in full swing with ship loads of talks and collecting files and funds with no action even when AKD had power under My3 and as the of Agriculture from 2004 to 2005, under Chandrika. Action matters while being in opposition with the distribution of computer labs and buses to poor schools, medical equipment for hospitals, restoring power at Mihintale, compensation for Rajapaksha gas explosion deaths, etc. It's the salient gauge and alert people will vote to establish their intelligence.

    Cheers Sunday, 17 March 2024 09:57 AM

    Both are duds retire from politics we saw how you bothe ruined the country during Yahapalanaya

    dinesh Sunday, 17 March 2024 11:03 AM

    desperation setting in?????

    DD Sunday, 17 March 2024 12:47 PM

    Let me look into the crystal ball here, my dear Sajith. It's as if the stars are aligning to bring you and your former boss together. Keep an eye out for the proposal coming your way next week.

    ROSH Sunday, 17 March 2024 03:25 PM

    Family politics ruined my country. We need fresh young faces from all part of the country

    Ahamed Sunday, 17 March 2024 06:18 PM

    Vote for AKD and parties don't matter.
