No chance for Mahinda to regain party leadership:
When former President Mahinda Rajapaksa left for Uganda on Tuesday morning,
little did he know that he was flying into a major controversy.
Although the former President’s second son, Yoshitha, was not permitted by court

Rajapaksa who toiled and moiled to facilitate his ‘comeback’, over the past 16
months.

Musevni, 71, has been continuously in office from 1986 for 26 years and for sure
getting more and more autocratic.
