The United National Party (UNP) said today they would secure a landslide victory at the parliamentary election similar to the UNP election victory in 1977.
Colombo District candidate and Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe said they have a huge advantage at the election because of the nature of the candidates fielded by the UPFA.
“UPFA has fielded a number of rapists, drug peddlers and fraudsters from their nomination list and it is a huge advantage for our party,” he told the media after handing over the party nominations.
Mr. Rajapakshe was accompanied by UNP candidates Ravi Karunanayake and Rosy Senanayake.
