UNP National List nominee Krishantha Cooray yesterday said that a victory for the UNP would pave the way for a stable government in Sri Lanka.

Cooray issued the following statement:

“Sri Lanka and Sri Lankans scored an important victory on January 8th. That revolution saved the country from the Rajapaksas’ corrupt and lawless regime. Jungle law was replaced by the rule of law, the media was freed and the abuse of power brought to an end.

This election itself is an example of that change: it is the first truly free, fair and lawful election in many years if not decades.

The Rajapaksa family is unsuccessfully trying it utmost to creep through the backdoor. But it is now very clear that they will be defeated again. Tired of chaos, the people are impatiently waiting for an outright victory for the UNP on the 17th of August.

There is no doubt that President Maithripala Sirisena and Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe will promote and safeguard good governance, freedom and democracy. Their Govt will also lay the foundation for stable economic growth, opportunity and peace that we and our children will enjoy for generations.

The plan is ready. The path is clear. It’s the green light for Sri Lanka.”
