Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe today said that the 2015 parliamentary election is the most peaceful, free and fair election in a long time. The younger people have not witnessed such an election during their lifetime, he added.

 

Speaking to the media today, Wickremesinghe said that the election laws have been enforced strictly. The Commissioner of Elections determines the rules and takes action. There is media impartiality, he said. 

 

“We got together to preserve the gains of the January 8 revolution. To ensure that good governance was carried on and your future was secured,” he said.

 

The UNP leader said that they have traveled around country and their joint assessment is that “no one wants Mahinda Rajapaksa.” 

 

“They are confident that the UNF is capable of building a new country and they are willing to give us that chance,” he said.
