It is a great news to hear before the citizens of this country will loose their faith in the politics. I am 100% Gota wants to make this country a livable one better than it was for 10 years. Better than in the times of, it was almost given to the terrorists. But the outside foreign interference will not let him finish his task as well as some selfish idiots living in Sri Lanka. God bless my country and god bless Gota!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

All candidates for local and national office must submit in full a police profile, also must be audited before appointment to agree on their wealth i.e. money and assets, so when they leave the office at the terms end the their wealth can be balanced and what cannot be justified can be gifted to the nation. As the method of accountability can be easily corrupted, the parties must appoint those who have altruistic principles.

Who nominated these thugs to the election lists?

The party organizers are reponsible for givning nominations.

Please eradicate these burdens from the poor masses. People have suffered enough. Let there be rule of law and order.
