Election the only solution to fulfil people’s true aspirations: JVP reiterates

Claiming that the struggle was not solely to expel President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) reiterated today that the country should be brought back to normalcy soon under an interim government and go for an election to fulfil people's aspirations.

JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said in a special statement that the people's true wishes and demands are not represented by the current Parliament and that an opportunity should be given for a new mandate.

"Majority in Parliament still holds by a group rejected by the people. Composition of this Parliament will not help stabilise the country and cater to the people's demands. An interim government should be formed for a short period of time and country should be brought back to normalcy and then go for an election," he said.

Parliamentarian Dissanayake said this struggle was not only to expel President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe but it was focused on creating a system change.

"Even though the main focus was to expel the President, the core of the struggle was to change the 74-year-old failed economic policy, political culture, ensure judicial supremacy, introduce a new Constitution so as to uphold democracy, put a full stop to fraud and corruption and recover stolen money," he said and added that these objectives could not be achieved from an administration formed in the current Parliament.

    The rejected people in parliament include your little lot!

    At the next elections your aspirations will not be fulfilled. At the most two handfuls more of NATO JVP ers will creep to parliament

    JVP will take SL back to the stone ages. We don't need Socialism in Sri Lanka. What the country needs is "a conscious capitalist model" with inclusive growth. The JVP has no credibility to negotiate with the IMF and Foreign Creditors. Rebuild the Counrty with the right people.. Plenty of damage done to Sri Lanka's image..

    Aravinda Kumara Dissanaya - that is your true name - and you people are also in the rejected list - but somehow knows how to use the words to cheat the people. Ranil is the only one who can make country stand for a while - Dont eager for an election - you will loose two more seats and have to be happy with 1 national list member.

    As Ranjan says majority of the people are dishonest and they will not elect good honest leaders

    Fully agree. General election should be held soon.

    Anne Karunaratne Friday, 15 July 2022 07:58 AM

    Are you going to spend from your own money for an election because Sri Lanka cannot afford to go for an election right now! Save your breath, AKD! Nobody wants the JVP!

    saliya Friday, 15 July 2022 08:12 AM

    country does not have the money required to conduct an election right now

    gamini Friday, 15 July 2022 08:14 AM

    first abolish the executive presidency before going for any election. These elections are just a waste of the public finds. Only the looters change and not our lives or the country

    Lion Friday, 15 July 2022 10:21 AM

    Very true, then only the aspiration of the people can be upheld

    Sooner the better Friday, 15 July 2022 10:25 AM

    In any case there will be an election very soon. So firstly all the parties must unite together and reach a consensus to propose a name for the President's appointment without giving room for Ranil to continue as President with the support of Rajapakshas loyalists.
