If the Election Commissioner Mr Dayananda has the guts and honesty he should declare this Election Null and Void. The Government of Mahinda Rajapakse has vipolated all and all elections laws of this country if he wins. If EC Dayananda declares MR as Elected then this time too, MR wins by DEFAULT.

The interesting thing is that even weerawansa the loudest noise maker on this issue too has not had his registration apparently when he was engaged in political activities!(That much for his honesty and patriotism!).
On the other hand if the ultimate authority currently on this election , the Election commissioner has no issue with SF's candidacy why is ITN and Rupavahini excited about over nothing!!
Looks to me Death bed antics !!!

Dear Commissioner, You are a Marvelous Man.
Very good decisions unbowed to the Goons.
Keep it up, we need a commissioner like
you. You must be given a top position for
the honest and bold decisions taken.
