    The three candidates were proposed and seconded by their respective parties? Who or what is Ranil Wickremasinhe's party? Last time I checked he had no party.

    Tissa Fernando Tuesday, 19 July 2022 10:42 AM

    So , Sajith will be PM then ? That is the deal.

    joshua Tuesday, 19 July 2022 10:49 AM

    Not sure what AKD will achieve from this.....may be spoil the show for Dullas with the votes divided.

    BuffaloaCitizen Tuesday, 19 July 2022 10:50 AM

    Other than AKD, both Dullas and Ranil are absolute crooks. Obviously majority will not agree, but that is also the reason for the calamity in this country.

    Tharuni G Tuesday, 19 July 2022 10:51 AM

    Well, now that's a surprise turn of events. So is Sajith the prime minister? Is old fox RW been foxed out. Time will tell I guess. But the people of Srilanka should be wary of these deals as SLPP is the MR Clan's pet Project

    Ketheesh Waran Tuesday, 19 July 2022 02:59 PM

    Ranil is bad BUT Sajith and Dallas are worse. Ranil and AKD should join together. AKD should be given a chance as PM. He has new ideas. Isn't it a joke that SJB (Sajith) supporting SLPP (Dallas) and SLPP supporting UNP (Ranil), while SLFP is wondering cluelessly

    samy Tuesday, 19 July 2022 03:51 PM

    SLPP's Dullas proposed by SJB's Sajith and seconded by SLPP Chairman. RW proposed by senior SLPP SO is that a National Govt. already

    Initially, The Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa wanted to contest for presidency, and suddenly he has changed his mind and has withdrawn from the race. He may be expecting the premier post from one of the above politicians became president of the country

    Cheers Tuesday, 19 July 2022 04:53 PM

    Dallas president and dinesh pm confirmed

    Cheers Tuesday, 19 July 2022 05:01 PM

    manil de mel Tuesday, 19 July 2022 05:12 PM

    Anura is the only candidate with peoples as aspirations but he has not support in this so dirty parliament

    Selvakumar Tuesday, 19 July 2022 06:29 PM

    It's almost same way

    Tamary Tuesday, 19 July 2022 08:26 PM

    Sajith wants the PM as they gonna implement 19th amendment and president does not have any power to rule the country.. Probably He will contest to the Prime minister position because the next constitution amendment will grant more power for the prime minister

    Volker Metzger Tuesday, 19 July 2022 09:30 PM

    Great political clown game, which is run here by the different Party size at the expensive of the people of SL ! Keep it up and you'll be amazement! The people will fight back again !

    Ranil Rajapakshas Tuesday, 19 July 2022 09:30 PM

    If Ranil wins it will show the hoarded money power of Rajapakshas and the PA MPs concern of this country.

    Pantha Kumara Tuesday, 19 July 2022 09:49 PM

    What the country need today is the right man for the job. 6.9 million voters failed in their casting of votes. Let me say clearly Gota did not benefit financially, but his party did. Gota was against Tamils. The Tamils are laughing today. I hope the new President will accommodate the Tamils.

    GHT Tuesday, 19 July 2022 10:41 PM

    If not Ranil Wickremasinghe elected for the Presidency, the country will be MESSED UP FURTHER.

    Mano Manoharan Tuesday, 19 July 2022 11:44 PM

    Country is struggling, they are fighting against one another for what?
