Mr GR has got a lead of 300,000 votes in 6,800,000 votes conted so far.
There is no way Modad*dasa will be able to recoup GR’s majority.
The winners in this election are (1) Gothabhaya Rajapaksa as president and (2) Ranil Wickremasinghe as prime Minister.
Isn’t it a wonderful world?
Dear Esmee,
Of the 9.15 million vots counted so fat, the son of the Lion of Ruhuna has a majority of 700,000 votes.
The Modad*asa cannot overrun this lead in the remaining approx 3 million votes to be counted.
The son of the Lion of Ruhana can comfortably claim victory at this point in time.
Unfortunately, RW cannot be removed as PM till May 2020; the TNA will provide support to demonstrate majority in Parliament.
The winners in this election are (1) Mr GR, the SLPP nominee and (2) RW as Prime Minister.
Also, Uyangoda has case against GR in the Supreme Court regarding his US Citizenship; don’t know which way it will go.
Wll Uyangoda run to the Supreme Court for a decision on GR’s US citizenship before he is sworn in?
If the Supreme Court says GR’s rnunciation is yet to be validated, will PM Ranil Wickremasinghe be the next President of SL?
When the President’s chair is vacant, it is the PM who fills that chair?
