CONGRATULATIONS! In my opinion, the the best out of the guys who contested. Steady the sip captain Ranil. Prepare the ground to have a free and fair election. Bad luck AKD and Dulars. Dram to become the PM dreams shattered for Sajith!
That will bare naked the self appointed AKD who claim to be on the side of the public with his fabricated evidence holding close to heart so that nobody can see. One vote is the one he cast for himself. Who is the other two Mo– FU–s voted for him?
Man who could not win his own parliament seat is the president. Where in this world this could happen other than Sri Lanka. So if you can’t beat him join him and bring this country to knees. On the other hand we should congratulate him for the courage and the determination performed by a person of his age.
A NEW ERA,
The Late Mangala Samarawickrema (SL’s most liberal politician) many years ago, said that is Ranil was the President we ought to have had.
Those words have come true today.
Besides, the public is always right. I am sure all here agree. They appointed RW as the Prime Minister of SL six times. So what is wrong about him having the interim presidency until the next election and also, this is the baby produced by the ‘Aragalaya’ after 100 days of serious labour pain. Congratulations! No need to puka wikaganna now.
Sri Lanka new Virtual president Ranil remote controlled by the ex president Go TA.
Another simplistic statement from the resident Simple Simon here! LOL. Idiot, I am sure you are disappointed now that it looks like your destructive agenda for SL seems to be coming apart! Go eat $#!{ !
Ranjith,
A remarkable victory for the perseverant Ranil Wickremesinghe.
One thing the Aragalaya has drawn out of our politicians is Statesmanship.
Ex-Prezzo GR, the only courageous leader in 74 years of history, to have stood up and apologized to the Nation for his policy failures and promised rejuvenation, should not be forgotten and be invited back to the Nation and provided all facilities provided to Ex-Presidents.
Thought the day would never come for me to say this as I have never been a fan of him, but – Congratulations Ranil and Best Wishes!
Now can we please move forward, away from anarchy that has plagued our dear nation since a couple of months ago? Please be decisive and give the necessary powers to the law enforcement authorities/forces to bring the situation under control IMMEDIATELY. Arrest and prosecute all criminal maggots who will be out to create more mayhem as for their past criminal acts (no pardon for them please!), irrespective of their status, title or affluence!
Viva Sri Lanka!
Indra,
You a lumpen class man show your naked pseudo scholarship here. The bourgeoisie in Sri Lanka including bar association planned conspiracy to appoint Ranil. Ranil now protects all thieves in the country ? Are you happy about it.
AKD has three votes which he knew clearly. But your leader Ranil is a shameless man in this country.
Let’s see how Ranil will develop this country, He never.
Ah! Ha! Conspiracy theory. “The bourgeoisie in Sri Lanka including bar association planned conspiracy to appoint Ranil” – The entire Bar Association of SL was with Aragalaya hooligans challenging the police and arranging bails. That moment Ranil was not even in the picture when GR invited and waited sufficiently long time for anybody claim to have the ability find a solution to take up the PM post. Nobody did except to demand the resignation of the president. That is what brought Ranil into the picture. Since he happened to be there as the PM, that itself opened the chance to become the president. “Are you happy about it.” – I am happy certainly, because, I said well before the unrest will not produce anything since there were main external factors neither the SL government nor the hooligans can control. “Let’s see how Ranil will develop this country, He never.” – Fully agree. Nobody can. First eradicate the population. Repopulate with people from another country. Then it will work. The Fxxxxxg idiots currently populating the island even cannot comprehend the simple truth when two cockerels are fighting , maiming and weakening, the winner going to be the jackal. They don’t see their own corruption. They don’t recognize they threw away the vote for 75 years either because of anger to teach a lesson or, allowed to be deceived by pie in the sky promises, but want to smash the system not knowing what will be the replacement. That was why they allowed taking Sirima’s civic rights away after she made the country self sufficient in food (of course it took 2 extra years, but there were results to see) and appointed an executive president who told them only thing he was not capable of was sex change! I am laughing my head out!!! How pathetic!!
“Ranil now protects all thieves in the country ? Are you happy about it.” – Can you get the previous Auditor General who on the TV claimed that he had so much information on corruption by R’s to come out now produce evidence AND, AKD to show in the content his files full of R’s corruption evidence? It is as simple as releasing it on the media. People will see. nobody can supress once it start spreading. Until then, they remain allegations without evidence to people like me. People like you can believe and act on them causing mayhem.
Please DO NOT make the same mistakes you made when dealing with the heinous LTTE and their “peace maker” champions Norwegian in early 2000 where they took you for a grand ride. It is claimed you really cannot be held responsible for the ISIS terrorists’ Easter Sunday attack as the Born-idiot MaruSira kept you away from National Security matters, but be that as it may, what both those instances show is that you are vulnerable for falling victim to extremist/terrorist designs – so be cognizant of your past faults and leave no room for future ones as now, in today’s context, such a lapse on national security will mean the end of SL as a nation.
RW was the prime cause of the downfall of the LTT by agreeing to the peace deal with them.
After the peace deal, the LTT came out in the open and their cruelty was exposed to the IC.
The downfall of the LTT began with that exposure.
Ranil is not a clever man. He is a cunning senile man. He does not care about Sri Lanka or any body. His only interest about himself. Me, Me ,Me. Now only thing he think about is how to get the guard of honor during the army parade in 4th of February.
Ranjith,
So, do you expect RW to be a boaster like you claiming to earn more that Prezzo + PM, cleaning white men’s toilets?
ranjith, go back to your motherland and participate in the re-build, my dear.
