The General Secretary of the JVP, Tilvin Silva, states that the country should show that it is with the compass by giving a vote percentage exceeding seventy percent in the upcoming provincial road elections.
He said that he had obtained a result exceeding 50% in the last presidential election and 60% in the parliamentary election, and said that he had no doubt about winning the election this time as well.
However, he said while addressing a public meeting that what is needed this time is to obtain a large percentage of 70% of the votes and achieve a big victory.
However, the official documents of the Election Commission confirm that the candidate of the National People’s Power, Anura Dissanayake, obtained 42.3% of the votes in the presidential election.
