Some political parties are still struggling to select a symbol. The Opposition is poised for a bigger defeat than the one they experienced at the Presidential Election. Therefore they have to correct their political agenda, he said
According to Minister Yapa Abeywardena, the Government requires two thirds majority in Parliament to effect the required changes in the existing structure of governing and expects the people will vote for the Government to win 150 seats in Parliament.
"The JVP leader and the Opposition accused the Government of practicing a computer gilmaat and went to town with it but it is nowhere stated in the Election Petition. They have not included their main charge in it," the Minister said.
The Opposition Leader said the Presidential Election was peaceful till 4 pm on January 26 and thereafter he started to tell something else.
It shows that this was done to create another hot topic for the Parliamentary Election. Various organisations are willing to say anything for money, Minister Abeywardena said.
The Minister pointed out that for the first time in the Sri Lankan election history, the European Union (EU) issued a very positive report on the Presidential election and it clearly stated that the election was held in a very peaceful environment. The UN also stated the same thing. Earlier various foreign countries stated various things about the elections held in Sri Lanka.
