Common candidate

Ra-Blue summoned his blue eyed boys Vaj Abey and Aah-Killer to the terrace that is Cambridge. "You have to show that it is I who should be the common candidate. Take this message from the village level so that the alliance will be forced to field me," Ra-Blue said.

Ra-Blue perturbed

Wedding Sam seemed happy, assuming that his common candidate plan was a success, but not Ra-Blue who is deeply perturbed as he would be unable to contest his third successive Prez election. Ra-Blue had told a close confidant that it was Sam who had made a mess of it.

Another split

The Bell Party is set to experience another split, if the party decides to support the Elephant Party's common candidate. Two senior members of the Bell Party politburo have already discussed the action they intend to take if Soome, the one-sa decides to join the party which killed thousands of Bell boys in the late 80s.

Jaffna rebels

The national alliance that is for Tamils too is facing a crisis situation. Tea-en-ae is unlikely to support the Elephant Party's common candidate. "We have huge differences on various issues. If our leader wants to join, let him do so. But the majority will oppose such a move," an Em Pee from Jaffna had said.
