The five Pohottu Candidates are:
1. GR (heart problems and US not cancelled Citizenship yet)
2. Chamal R (a bit on the older side; no energy to propagate R Family values)
3. Shiranthi R ( never been on a public platform)
4. Kumara Welgama / Dinesh Gunawardane ( no, they cannot be trusted)
5. Ranil Wickremasinghe (well, he is the one, the most trustworthy political and social ally of MR; will never let the R family down)
Well done Fiery,
Brilliant analysis.
The Pohottu does not have a substantial candidate.
Instead, the Pohottu gonna promote their bosom pal, RW, surreptitiously to win the chair.
The idiots in UNP promoting the Dumb Head Son of RP are in for a rude shock.
