The reason the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) was able to win the Local Government election was because of the fact that they have used all the malpractices, says Jayalath Jayawardana. They used all the government resources including the media, accused the UNP MP.
In response to a question by the media at a press conference today (March 18) Jayalath claimed that several of the government’s powerful politicians personally went to areas such as Wattala, Kelaniya, Dambulla, Beruwela and Nikaweratiya and attempted to intimidate the people and the innocent voters.
“And there was no law and order in the country and the Election Commissioner was helpless.” the Parliamentarian said.
