Sticky Ra-Blue

Ra-Blue’s blue-eyed boys said that their leader is finding it difficult even to expect the number of preferential votes he had polled at the last election that is general. A dejected Ra-Blue, thereupon, summoned his inner circle and his PR company for advice. Ra-Blue’s posters have adorned the city walls as a result.

Battle of the Reds

The Bell Boys, ignoring their basic party principles, are fighting for preferential votes. The worst clash is in Colombo with Sunny Sandal-Netti taking on Lucky Nippon-Arachchi, discarding their alliance leader Fonny.

Exemplary act

Na-Flower has set a good example to senior politicians clashing over poster wars. He has instructed his supporters to stop spending on posters and use the money to purchase books for needy school children in Hambantota and also to embark on a canal development project. An exemplary act, no doubt.

Checkmating Ka-Roo

Loyalists of Ra-Blue and Ka-Roo are openly clashing in the district that is Village-Five. Fearing that his deputy would secure more preferential votes than what he could poll in the capital city, Ra-Blue has deployed three loyalists to dampen Ka-Roo’s campaigns so that preferential votes in the district would be divided among all Green seniors.

Greens to turn Blue

Johnny Boy is confident that he could turn several Greens into Blue when they are elected Em Pees. He has already held initial discussions with a few of them. The Green seniors have told Johnny Boy that it’s advantageous for them to contest under the Elephant symbol and cross over as there are enough and more Greens under the betel leaf already.
