Electoral system needs amending – Ranil
Posted in Local News
United National Party Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe said the present electoral system has to be amended urgently, as it is a costly and foolish exercise.
He said when he had contested General Elections in the past, he had been able to visit voters of his electorate personally, but noted that such endeavours had however, been thwarted by the present system.
He made these remarks while addressing a political rally held in Bokundara, Piliyandala, recently.

why not do it before elections
So how are you going to amend it. So far none of your plans or ideas never works. But this time I will give the benefit of the doubt.
The Election Commission will be counting the votes the day following the elections (6th Aug 2020).
On the night of the election day (5th Aug 2020), all ballot boxes will be replaced with new ones containing votes for those who are seeking 2/3 majority.
There you go, we are all being cheated !!!
