My vote for Mr Gotabaya Rajapaksha because he has good vision for every path of our motherland like safety, education, religion s, culture and the development. So I decided to vote for him to make our motherland for our younger generations! May all his dreams come true! May the Triple Gem and all the gods bless and protect him!
My one and only choice is Mr. Gotabhaya since I believe he would be able to bring the country on the right path.
This is ridiculous. When Shavendran Silva was appointed as Army Chief, TNA, Tamil Diaspora, NGOs, UN protested. But when Mahesh Senananayake nominated for SL presidency these groups never open the mouth. Take the case of NGO guy Viyangota and the Kalaniya Professor who filed a case against Gota regarding his citizenship. When a Singapore National Arjuna Mahendran functioning as head Central Bank…these guys were sleeping!
Dogs may bark but the caravan moves. All the best Gota. We need you.
GR is the only cadidate with mass appeal, capability and determination.
If he is not allowed to contest, MR and RW should combine to abolish Exec P.
I cannot imagine SL under Mod*dasa presidency.
