The Rajapaksa Regime especially President Rajapaksa is now electorally vulnerable. We challenge the Regime to hold the election as planned and face the truth about the chaos and misery that the Rajapaksa rule has brought upon the people, the United National Party (UNP) says.

The UNP says that the revolutionary milestone where it yearning for freedom and justice, and the march towards the ultimate defeat of the Rajapakse regime has begun in the Uva Province. 

Issuing a statement the party further says “The election results from the Uva Provincial poll is a rejection of the regime’s policies of enriching a few while mere crumbs are thrown at the masses. This is no longer an acceptable mantra of governance. The Uva Province was perceived to be UPFA’s strongest region. It was to be a spectacular win, a message to the rest of Sri Lanka and the world about the unshaken bastions of Rajapaksa power. Today, the Government has got its answer. 

We know now that democracy will win the day. Uva-Wellassa has proved this by the way they voted in Saturday’s election,”
