Since independence, this country has voted on ethnic policies instead of countries policies. This election continues that trend. It is the people who make a country and not leaders.

DGee Friday, 07 August 2020 09:12 AM

SJB is about 6 month old party and done well even when UNP attacked them by chasing them from party during last week. President got 6.9 Mn votes in Nov and now party gets 6.8 Mn with no new gain. SLPP contested last provincial elections and did exceptionally well. Congratulations SLPP.

Ravi Friday, 07 August 2020 09:35 AM

How did they win so bad?

Anoosh Friday, 07 August 2020 10:27 AM

Every action has a reaction. Congratulations to SLPP.

RAJ Friday, 07 August 2020 10:37 AM

Mr.Sumanthiran will split TNA by leaving TNA along with some other members and join with the government. He will be appointed as the foreign minister to defend the government at many front. It will be a big blow to the Tamils nationalist parties inside and outside the Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has digged her own grave. No tourist wants to visit a military dictatorship.

vince Friday, 07 August 2020 11:57 AM

Jude Friday, 07 August 2020 12:11 PM

Jude Friday, 07 August 2020 12:16 PM

ANDREW Silva Friday, 07 August 2020 12:22 PM

Congratulations Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha people have given you a massive mandate. Use it wisely to improve the lives of every Sri Lankan. Specially the poor and the suffering, then only you will be considered as a great man and a leader.

Did the country go forward during Yahapalana govt ? At least be open-minded for a change!

FF Friday, 07 August 2020 01:58 PM

HOW MANY OF YOU NOTICED THE ALARMING NUMBER OF REJECTED VOTES - COLOMBO DISTRICT 81K PLUS. THERE WAS AN AVERAGE OF 8K PER ELECTORATE. WHO CAN EXPLAIN THIS AND HOW TO AVOID THIS IN THE FUTURE

FF Friday, 07 August 2020 02:05 PM

RANIL MUST BLAME HIMSELF. HE ALLOWED SAJITH AT THE BEGINNING AND LATER SHOWED AS IF HE WAS NOT IN AGREEMENT OF SP. HE FOR SURE WAS MISLEAD BY PEOPLE LIKE BOND RAVI WHO CRITICISED SAJITH FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TIME

TONY R Friday, 07 August 2020 02:07 PM

THE PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN THEIR MANDATE NOT TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO THE BENEFIT OF ONE FAMILY

Novote Friday, 07 August 2020 02:18 PM

Serves RW right. UNP kicked out like SLFP. RW -should never have appointed Arjun Mahendra. After bond scam He should have Caught the robbers and confiscated their property and funds and given the it to the government treasury. He should have Listened to and supported Sajith and the Rest of the breakaway group early 2019. He has no understanding of the pulse of the people and how and why they vote. He could have saved the UNP or mitigated the losses of UNP if he and SJB made up joined forces Earlier on Now face the consequences From 2010 you made an utter mess

mp Friday, 07 August 2020 02:53 PM

People have made a wise decision. There are a few people who criticize the decision. It is purely because of jealousy.
