Beginning of a wave of UNP victories: Buddhika Pathirana

(October 12, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian)The election on October 10 heralds the beginning of a wave of UNP victories, says Buddhika Pathirana, UNP group leader for the Matara district. Addressing a media briefing yesterday, Pathirana, who obtained the highest number of preferential votes among the UNP candidates at the Saturday's poll, said that people of the south had given him victory over all other candidates from the three districts with 61.09 per cent preferential votes.

“We have taught the government a bitter lesson from the South. This election has heralded the beginning of the UNP's wave of victories. Compared to Uva, we have increased our votes by at least a single decimal point as well,” he said.

Buddhiak,

You must be kidding right! UNP lost all seats and didn't even come close to obtain 50% of the votes and you are talking about defeating the government. I'm getting shivers because you are a medical doctor by profession. May the noble triple gem bless your patients.
