Fonseka’s Statement (Video)
This is Fonseka’s statement on not being registered to vote. This happens to a lot of people, especially since registration is not really tied to election cycles. By the time it comes to your attention it’s too late. Getting back on the rolls takes years. Anyways. He should have ideally told earlier, but I guess this worked. If he is elected it will be non-stop drama. It’s guess it’s better than tragedy. Personally, I heard some turnout figures via the Elections Commission and it doesn’t look high enough in the North and East. Like last year, that could determine it.
I feel sorry for Sri Lanka if he’s elected. If he doen’t realise that he isn’t registered till the last moment, wonder what other things he’ll bungle as president.
I think Sarath Fonseka has created history with being the world’s first ever Presidential candidate who had not even casted his own vote at the election run.
And the drama begins.
However you try to spin it, electing SF is a very dangerous gamble.
MR is flawed, but SF is the bigger threat to democracy. Pretending otherwise is willfully ignoring all facts.
People like Indi wanted to get rid of MR so bad that SF and his impossible coalition got a virtual free pass.
Nothing is rational in politics and love, so you usually end up with what you deserve.
What could be a bigger political irony than the Colombo elites and JVP united in support of SF, the ruthless general that killed LTTE.
Well said, I witness.
