  • LSSP points accusing finger
    Worst Wayamba culprit gets provincial ministry
    In a 4-page statement warning against "reactionary politics within the PA" issued on the Wayamba elections, the LSSP expressed its disappointment that "a person publicly identified by the president herself as guilty of the worst malpractices at the Wayamba election has succeeded in his attempts to be appointed a minister in the provincial council."

    The LSSP statement signed by its general secretary, Science and Technology Minister Batty Weerakoon said: "This person's vote rigging was directed at putting himself at the higher levels of the "manape" (preference) vote in order to add to his claim to a ministerial appointment.
