UPFA victory at LG polls, a certainty

Sports Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage said that the Government would definitely win all Municipal Councils including the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC) at the forthcoming Local Government polls due to the vast development carried out by the Government in the cities and the utmost confidence reposed by the people on President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

At present the UPFA has gained power in all Pradeshiya Sabhas which means that the villagers support the President and the Government.

If we were to take the UNP list in Colombo, there is no worthwhile candidate to vote for. Though the UNP Mayoral candidate is a Muslim, he does not have the support of Muslims in Colombo and there is no unity among the UNP candidates contesting the CMC, the Minister told the Sunday Observer.

The UPFA mayoral candidate for the CMC is a former Minister.

Moreover, prominent UNPers such as former Minister Sirisena Cooray’s son, former CMC Deputy Mayor Azad Sally, former UNP Deputy Minister Mohamed Maharoof and former CMC Mayor Ganeshalingam’s wife are contesting the CMC under the UPFA ticket. Therefore, the UPFA has fielded a group of reputed candidates, the Minister said.

The Minister said that at present there is a huge political crisis within the UNP. Instead of winning the Local Government polls, they are fighting with their leader. Therefore, the UNP will face a severe setback at the forthcoming LG polls, especially in the CMC. The UNP would not resolve its crisis even in another five or ten years.

Minister Aluthgamage said the residents of Colombo are aware of the peaceful atmosphere in Colombo due to the Government eradicating terrorism. The Urban Development Authority is doing a tremendous job to develop the Colombo city under the guidance of Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

Everybody is commenting on the measures taken by the Government to develop the Colombo city.

It is likewise in Kandy. The UPFA has fielded a brilliant team of candidates for the Kandy Municipal Council. There is no candidate in the UNP list who can equal the UPFA candidates. The Government has done much to develop Kandy as well, he said.
