“Mahinda’s defeat is already written on his forehead. He will have no power to become the prime minister. UPFA has divided. Its election campaign is fractured at village level. Certain leaders of the UPFA publicly ask their supporters not to vote for the other fraction of the UPFA. Here is a conflict within the UPFA. As such, party members are looking for an alternative. Neither the UNP nor the UPFA can get 113 seats to form a government on their own,” said the Information Secretary of the JVP and the Leader of the group of JVP candidates for Gampaha District Vijitha Herath.Speaking at a media conference held at the head office of the JVP at Pelawatta today (12th) Mr. Herath further said, “The people have already decided this. They will have to form a government from those who cross over from one party to the other. After the 17th more and more will cross over. We would like to definitely say the next government will be formed from those who cross over from the UPFA to UNP and vice versa. The government will be a coalition of leapers. Hence, we, of the JVP, make a request to the people to make our representation in Parliament stronger to make the opposition powerful. This is what the masses expect.
The power that guides the country towards a correct path is the JVP. Whoever forms the government the JVP would definitely get the controlling power of the governance. However, this would happen only if the presence of the JVP increases in Parliament. We are definite that the progressive people in this country would make the JVP the compass that decides the direction the country has to move,” said the Information Secretary of the JVP.
