even if you plug these percentages into the election results template, with the assumption both get 49% for matale (you have not given), gonzeka gets only 47.42%. MR gets more.
don't assume bullshit voters turnout figures for jaffna, vanni and trincomalee. it will be much lower than what you have in mind.

instead of airing it, it was used to bargain with the GONZ camp to refrain from some dirty last minute tactics GONZ planned.
---------------------
Ah that's more like it ! Very glad to hear it Moshe.
Guys
Don't be distracted by the number of new posters who come here in support of Fonseka.
They are mostly likely LTTE supporters in disguise.
Lets keep to discussing the more important issues.
@Rahul
Sri Lanka have 25 districts, not 21. Here we have a fortune teller who don't even know the fact that SL have 25 districts.
Bomb blasts in Jaffna - CMEV
“We have a complaint that two bombs were thrown at the home of Subramaniam Sharma, an organiser for the (ruling) Sri Lanka Freedom Party early this morning,” spokesman D. M. Dissanayake said.
http://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=6978
------------
And true to form Aljerkoff reports this as "opposition MP attacked this morning in Jaffna".
They also interviewed that mutt Jehan Perera.
These LTTE posters in disguise are talking about false info about lanka. They are just trying to provoke us and break the peace in this blog.
For example the LTTE posters in disguise say how sri lankans are more hungry now than in the past. This is false. The average tamil in the south is about 20% heavier than the average tamil in the north. What does that say? Sri lankans now consume more calories than in the past. Not the other way around.
Our parents had less food growing up than the current generation. Sri lankans tend to one of the better fed people in south asia according to statistics done about hunger.
Guys
Isn't it funny how so many new handles are now appearing in support of Fonseka?
Who are most of them? Just the LTTE posters in disguise in hope of a Fonseka victory to see MR humiliated in defeat.
Sorry is missed out Matale. It should be 51.6% for MR
Lanka Puthra said...
Majority of Sri Lankan voters consider only their hardships and blame it always on incumbent government. They do not care about other things like racism, nationalism or patriotism if the choice is between two main contenders. Therefore it will be close encounter for MR.
-------------------------
You will realize how wrong you are when you see the results of rural vote.
I take this part to be true - "Majority of Sri Lankan voters consider their hardships"
But not ONLY that. They analyse things, situations, what happened in different eras, etc. etc. Final conclusion vastly depends on their realization that this regime has done them more good compared with all previous.
This is my conclusion after talking to so many people from various villages.
However your statement "consider only their hardships and blame it always on incumbent government" is very valid for most city voters. They are a bunch of selfish bastards who can never be satisfied who don't deserve fly-overs like someone here said earlier. (can't remember who)
Luckily the above is not the majority in Sri Lanka.
@Rahul
Even if we include Mathale still you are missing three districts.
Still finding out missing three districts? If you need help don't hesitate to ask?
Well even though MR is from Hambanthota, it is most likely that he will get the highest voter turnout for him from Monaragala district.
Also Gampaha district is the one where lead from the Colombo district negated. Also I think apart from Kelaniya(full credit goes to Mervin Silva) it's most likely that MR will sweep out all other electorates( a bit of doubt for Mahara electorate) and with a pretty handsome lead. So according to my guess he will get more around 55% in Gampaha itself.
Anyway you are bound have day dreams till the election result is out!!!
In Colombo suburbs [at least where I have been] there is a huge interest in voting and long queues were visible.
This does not mean purely SF voters. Both sides find it important as the critical election takes shape.
No violence as such in Colombo. SF maybe disappointed. It is extremely important that MR side remains calm and inside houses, since SF is looking for an opportunity. In the grounds that it is their advantage, any violence will always play it into SF hands.
I wouldn't be surprised if SF tries one or two old trick in the wee hours of election.
We know that Lal Kantha was crossed. He himself confessed this but he did not act on his understanding. This is what is happening in most UNP and JVP activists.
I am expecting a maginificiant victory for our Nation. MR will defintiely win.
I have not come across images of SF voting. Even wickramabahu can be seen.
SU,
Yes, that is me in LNP. I was their for a while, not very active though.
Did Gonz and Anoma vote? Not seen in any media.. Gonseka supporters very upset mood..
lankacnews has some hot news..
BreatheSL,
Thanks for your opinion mate. My statement based on my relative’s opinion. They are based in Colombo but they are either business people or high ranking govt officers. Total 08 people with family votes around 21 they are all against MR except one family. It is too much because they all voted MR last time.
However as you said village vote is important but densely populated villages are within the proximity of towns and urban areas. I have sneaky feeling that we in for a shock.
I also heard interesting theory from one of my relatives who is keen on elections and politics. On his opinion winner will have huge margin but I didn’t agree. However he insisted and even asked me to bet LKR 5000, if not agree with him.
He doesn’t know who will win but he said most voters are very keen and somebody is going to win by at least 10% margin.
Rahul said...
If any of you guys interested in some prediction, here is an interesting one.
For MR %
Gampaha 51.3%
-----------------------
Are you serious or totally joking?
You obviously don't know Gampaha district.
Same can be said about the rest of your prediction.
According to Swarnawahini still Gonseka hasnt vote they said that due to that they dont have any video cuts regarding to gonzekaz
Rasika, Pleaes understand that this is only a prediction considering the ground realities. If you have a different view please come up with figures, it is all right, we respect different views, like MD did. Mine is only One vote, but we consider the general understanding of others to comeup with these, where some of us agreed very reluctantly to some of these figures.
By the way there are only 22 district with 160 seats in SL for Election.
MD,
You may be correct with N' eliya assesment.
What??? SF is not a illegible for voting????
-----------------
Fonseka yet to cast vote, media to be given footage later
Presidential Candidate Rtd. Gen. Sarath Fonseka is yet to cast his vote for the election he is contesting for. When contacted by Ada Derana Fonseka’s joint spokesman JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that the General is eligible to vote however due to security reasons the footage of him casting his vote will be sent to the media by his office.
BreatheSL,
Why don’t you believe Gampaha results as Rahul predicted?
Mahinda, his family and relatives had all out war to earn money during and after the war. Sri Lankans know it very well because they became poorer and poorer while Mahinda clan became rich and richer.

No, Moshe is a proven failure when it comes to predictions!
His predictions on Budget during the height of war, provincial council elections and whether Sarath will come back from USA to SL in last November all failed by miles.
Moshe is just a blogger who says anything which comes to his mind. He has the poorest credibility when it comes to prediction.
In fact if you say opposite to him you always win.

Your relatives as even more stupid. For an example, see what he has said. If he thinks that someone has such a great margin to win, he's ought to know who it is. If he is not sure which one it is , taht naturally means he is thinking of close contest.
Stupids are only relatives of stupids.
SK,
Vikka, we used to call him. He is the best candidate to choose as next president of Sri Lanka but unfortunately Sri Lankans do not know the value of a gem even it collided squarely on their head.
Dr. Wickramabahu Karunaratne is an intelligent, educated, kind person who is above petty politics. He is also not a racist or nationalist but tolerating intellectual of the highest kind.
If you disagree, give me the facts but don’t write nonsense.
Re: Predictions
Rahul;
No offence, but pray tell me how you came up with decimal numbers. I don't worry about the big numbers, but how did you/or whoever predict to two decimal points?
BTW, Due to the uncertainties of current election I do not make a prediction. Following are my uncertainties.
- How many voter turnaround from North?
- What % of northern voters will vote SF?
- Who will own the vote bloc in N/E district? This is because Thonda was always with UNP in every main election in recent past. Do they belong to elephant or the fowl?
- How much vote swing in Colombo's southern/eastern electorates: Kolonnava, Kotte, Homagama, Maharagama, Kaduwela, Avissawella, Kesbewa and Moratuwa. These will decide the winner of the district. I have still not taken Colombo as won by SF. MR has some chance.
- What majority MR has gained in South. I think he will win all three districts, but the % of south does matter a lot.
I am refraining from making a prediction.
Sujeewa Amanawala said,
//….. Stupids are only relatives of stupids…..//
You must be talking about you and your relatives because showing short temper is unmistakable flag of stupidity.
rasika,
mate, mannar, kili, mula and vavuniya districts go as vanni election district for election purposes.
so 22 election districts.
SK,
Also give your prediction before you criticise others. If you can’t be quite until tomorrow because then you can say I said this and that. We don’t want post mortems from you or anybody.
Mahinda chinthanaya is already done and dusted.
lp,
i've got some predictions correct, some wrong.
but i'm CONSISTENT!!!
lol!!
Moshe,
You are consistent because you are a charging bull but I study the situ and change according to the environment.
no updates from SF's FB page for a long time
lp,
you change within a few hours as if you are suffering from BIPOLAR SYNDROME!!
Moshe,
Has Fonseka left the country already or hiding in US or Norway embassy? Fonseka not voting yet is very puzzling for the reasons none other than it is demoralizing for his supporters.
Ha ha ...
BIPOLAR SYNDROME!!
sam,
good observation!!
i didn't see gonzeka voting in ANY website!!
COWARD!!
bugger is still in SL from what i hear. bugger plans to leave for india early tomorrow. bugger is going to stay in a house owned by a MF of the mahendrarajah family. mongal is also likely to go with him.
gonzeka will be taking a CATHAY PACIFIC flight at 1:45 am to delhi.
Rahul and Moshe, thanks for piece of information there are 22 districts from this elections perspective.
@Rahul
If someone comes with figures for a election before results are announced, it's simply a prediction and not a opinion.
Having studied Statistics as a subject I don't believe in predictions which are bound have bias since there is no scientific basis (I accept the fact that Statistics too have it's own short comings, but it's comparatively pretty less).
In some case you've came up with figures with two decimals, can you explain the rationale behind this?
My opinion is solely based on the my own observations since I lived in Gampaha district for more than 90% of my life time. However this time around I am entitled vote in Colombo District.
Anyway within a next 24 hours of time we all are finding the answer and since I am not a fortune teller like you, I would rather refrain from coming up with a prediction.
This guy is reporting from Colombo.
UK Times - TV actress 'kidnapped' for supporting Sri Lanka’s presidential rival
Ralph Michael in Colombo.
How low can you go?
rasika,
i applied rahul's percentages, except nuwaraeliya to registered voters of each district. voters' turnout was assumed to be 1% higher than in 2005 except for north east.
may be, gonzeka coward has already run away knowing very well that he is going to lose.

BS!
I don't know where your relatives live .. maybe in Canada, or New Zealand!
But, the people I know in Sri Lanka .. both rich and poor .. ALL say they are better off than when MR first came to power!
Rasika,
I read a news report in which the Commisioner of elections said he will not release election results as they come in, until the voting period has closed.
The report was not very clear as to whether he would wait for all results to be reported before he releases them.
Moshe,
Maybe SF voted by mail, and fled Sri Lanka hidden in Anoma's baggage!
LoL!
Moshe,
Even if a candidate is not going to win, he should have gone to the polling station early in the morning. Not going to vote is hugely demoralizing to his supporters. This does not add up for "common opposition candidate." There is something seriously wrong in this picture. I have the feeling that he is trying something nasty. Very very puzzling.
Lanket Putha;
Why waste time talking about a total lunatic.
BTW, you seem to follow his philosophy. Do you have links with WiKoSa and Trotsky following groups?
The common opinion of most of these groups tally 100% with yours. So I'm not surprised that you praise the joker lunaticca [he's not a politicca, but a lunaticca].

but anoma didn't fly last night for some reason.
this is BIG NEWS.
GONZEKA DIDN'T VOTE!! HAS HE RUN AWAY KNOWING SURE DEFEAT??
Ananda the blog manipulator and ace multipolar deceptor and actor of the worst kind be ready to face reality tomorrow; by then your credibility will be non existent. Then we will talk and resolve other things.
Bye bye until then you thief of Baghdad ( SL integrity).
hello everyone
there is a huge interest in voting everywhere except in Jaffana and Vanni districts.
all other districts more than 75% voter tunout expected.
but in Jaffna and vanni about 25% to 35% expected to vote.
In jaffna polling District there are 721359 registered voters for this election.
In the Polling District of Vanni which includes Mannar, Vavunia and Mulathive there are 266975 registered voters eligible to cast there votes in this election.
Its too early to predict anything. but mu feeling is whoever wins he will by a big margin. that is more than 250,000 votes or more.
lets hope he is MR
I agree Sam that no show of the Devil is puzzling. Let us hope it is something to be rejoiced but not alarmed yet all precausions must be taken.
Guys
Are there any results coming in so far in the polls.
Whats the feeling in the ground?
Multipolar,
Bye bye until then you thief of Baghdad ( SL integrity).

A FAQ for Voters
Rise and fall of Fonseka
H. L. D. Mahindapala
January 24, 2010
Q: When a man fights for 40 years of his life for a cause and then overnight joins the enemies he fought what do you call him?
A: Sarath Fonseka, of course!
Q: When a man who gets the biggest ride in his life to fame and glory in the most viable vehicle available and gets off without even saying thank you to the driver what do you call him?
A: Fonseka, of course!
Q: When a man, who is carried on the shoulders of his comrades, turns around and betrays them saying that they carried out illegal orders is there a name for him?
A: Yes, there is: Traitor Fonseka!
Practically, every act that Gen.(retd) Sarath Fonseka has committed since he decided to crossover exposes him as a man without a conscience, integrity, reliability, and credibility. He wants the nation to give him credit for the 40 years of his military career and, at the same time, accept him as a national leader for joining the enemies he fought to destroy.
Which Fonseka can we trust? Is it the Fonseka who fought with President Mahinda Rajapakse? Or is it Fonseka who is with the enemies he fought in the biggest battles of his life? When he was in the Army uniform he praised his Commander-in-Chief as the indispensable leader that gave leadership, political protection and the military hardware for him to succeed. After he got into his “kapati koat” (not the national dress) he claims that the victory belongs to him, with a sprinkling of credit distributed among the others.
These obvious contradictions known to the common man will not endear him to the voters who do not suffer from Alzheimer’s. On January 27 he will realize that he had thrown away forty years of his life’s work in one fatal mistake of joining the enemies whom he had condemned ceaselessly until November last year. His inconsistencies, his twists and turns, his blatant lies and false promises which he can’t keep have reduced him to a man without principles.
It is the betrayal of his own principles – principles for which he won fame more than his military exploits — that is unacceptable to any decent person who trusted him to be a man of his word. His betrayal of his own fellow-officers took away the gloss of being a hero who commanded one of the best armies in the world. His betrayal of the nation in the eyes of the world dragged him to the depths of depravity.
In one sense, one can admire, even though grudgingly, Velupillai Prabhakaran’s dogged commitment to his cause. His strength was in his unwavering commitment to pursue a goal without falling for short-term gains. If Prabhakaran did a Sarath Fonseka which Tamil would respect him?
The followers of Prabhakaran and Fonseka hero-worshipped them not because they had the power to kill or destroy the enemy but because they represented an ideology endorsed and embraced by the people. They represented their respective communities in the battlefield. Without that ideology they would have been nothing more than Godfathers of an Asian mafia. A hero does not exist in a vacuum. He belongs to a community and their ideals. If the hero betrays the ideals of the community he ceases to be a hero.
Bertolt Brecht’s aphorism in his play The Life of Galileo is apt for both communities. His saying: “Unhappy is the land in need of heroes”, reflects the sad story of the Tamils. The Sinhalese, on the other hand, are faced with a surfeit of heroes.
Rise and fall of Fonseka
.....continued 1......
There is, of course, noting wrong with heroes. They are pathfinders and without them history could not have gone anywhere. But which community needs a hero like Fonseka who joins the enemies he fought and betrays all the fundamental values for which his men sacrificed their lives? Brecht’s other quote “Why be a man when you can be a success?” applies to the arrogant, self-conceited, egocentric character of Fonseka.
Fonseka was a hero as long as he represented the ideals of the nation. In November when he joined Wickremesinghe-Hakeem-Mangala-SomaHANSA he was crossing over to another ideological agenda that was diametrically opposed to his own and that of the nation. How can he then expect the nation to back him?
He was hoping to cash on his military exploits. So did the Wicky-Haki-Mangy-SomaHANSA combination. This weird mob of cut-throat rivals went Fonseka because they thought that was the best option available to them to gain a winning majority by dividing the Sinhala vote. They had no Sinhala hero to split the Sinhala votes which were in Mahinda’s bank. But like Fonseka, they overestimated the power of his hero status. His military adventures are valueless if they are not representative of the ideals of the nation.
If the voters are to be swayed on military exploits only, then they might as well vote for Prabhakaran or his representatives in the TNA. After all he too scored significant military victories before he went down in Nandikadal. But this election is about the value and the meaning of victories to the posterity than the victories per se. There is no heroism in defeating the enemy in war if the heroes betray their ideals and principles on which they aged the war.
If your intention is to join the enemies after winning the war why go to war at all, in the first place? Fonseka was given extension after extension to finish the war to win the ideals in the national agenda. But after the war he joins the enemies who were either determined to blow him out of the earth or scoffed and ridiculed him. Joining the enemy is a virtual surrender to the agenda of the enemy. So what did Fonseka achieve in the end?
President Mahinda Rajapakse, on the contrary, is heading for victory not because he was in the Operations Room as Commander-in-Chief, overseeing the day-to-day maneuvers, but because he represents the ideals for which he gave determined and quality leadership. He is seen as the defender and protector of the ideals for which the nation fought. The opposition strategy is to deny this and take what is due to him and hand it over to Fonseka. But the voters are not buying it.
Facebook Group for Gen.Fonseka is saiyng that "Auspicious time for voting for General Fonseka is 3.50pm.25 minutes ago"
Rise and Fall of Fonseka
.....continued 2 .......
They know that the political leadership that went all the way with the forces on the ground, air and sea was the determining factor that ended the 33-year-old conflict in Sri Lanka. Better generals than Fonseka (like Kobbekaduwa) could have finished the war, for instance, in the Vaddamarachchi campaign if they had the political backing of President J. R. Jayewardene. The Army had to withdraw into camps because “JRJ” did not have the political will to face India who was putting unbearable pressure to stop the war. Eventually, “JRJ” surrendered.
First hand account of Lalith Weeratunga, President’s Secretary, proves that Mahinda Rajapakse resisted and thwarted all pressures from the biggest powers on earth – England, France and India. What part did Fonseka play in this overwhelming international front? President Rajapakse was fighting on the global and the national fronts, including Wickremesinghe and Mangala who were going round the globe backing the Tamil Tigers moves to stop the war.
Besides, the battle on the ground would have come to a grinding halt if the opposition led by the same Wicky-Haki-Mangy-SomaHANSA mob, plotting to defeat the budget in
2007, won the day in Parliament. Who fought those battles and saved Fonseka and the nation?
In the end, it was the formidable power of the Rajapakses, representing the will of the majority, that wrote history down the ages. It is the same force that will write the latest chapter on January 26.
By eliminating Tamil Tigers from the political landscape Mahinda Rajapakse created the new dynamic of opening up a democratic space for the minorities to return to the pre-Prabhakaran era where non-violent political bargaining replaces terror tactics. Power has returned to the hands of the people once again. The new battle field will be in the polling booths.
The alignment of the minorities with the “Sinhala chauvinists” to co-exist in peace will be a revelation to the Westernized intellectuals whose spectacles are fogged with irrelevant and vague theories which have never worked in the past.
Mahinda Rajapakse will write a new page in the Mahavamsa of the nation on January 26. As the great book says, it will be written for “the serene joy and emotion” of all peace-loving people. The difference between Mahinda Rajapakse and Sarath Fonseka is that Fonseka will be buried in the records of military academies but Mahinda will glow in the pages of history books.
All said and done, and considering the multitude of obstacles that stood in the way Mahinda Rajapakse, I cannot help but marvel at the miracle of peace that he achieved within three years. If he failed it is he who would have had to pay the price and not Fonseka. When the prevailing wisdom declared that it was an impossible task to see peace in our time President Rajapakse achieved it. Like many others, I never thought I would live to see the dawn of this miracle.
That is the greatest prize that anyone could have offered to a nation torn by 33-years of a needless war. Fonseka can claim that he won the battles. Mahinda Rajapakse can claim legitimately that he won the war and the peace.
Wars are comparatively short. Peace is long and takes years to consolidate. Mahinda Rajapakse has taken the first major step towards peace. He must be given that extra space once again to complete the work he began and take all communities with him to an era of peaceful co-existence.
gonzeka's movements are monitored at all times.
he has a massive security contingent of SLA!!!!!

soon GONSEKA will claim he is under HOUSE ARREST!!

@Ananda-USA
I think what he says is the final official announcement of the result, not electorate results.
Anyway do you have any links?
taan,
my fault.
i didn't make it very clear.
what i meant was the TRUE auspicious time for SF comes after 4 pm (or whatever the time voting closes).
but the astrologer was told to give a time within the voting time!!
so he said 3:50 which is not the TRUE auspicious time. therefore gonz is going to lose and the astrologer has read his LAST horoscope!!!!
according to tamilnet by noon only 5% had voted in jaffna.
vanni (except vavuniya) is was 1%.
LOVELY!!
these numbers unfortunately increase rapidly in the afternoon unless a few loud explosions take place.
I guaranteed that SLFP is going to win with biggest Marines in Kurunegala, Anuradhapura Polonnaruwa wonder why some one has predicted percentrages about 50% to those areas i was living in kurunegala for more than 15 yrs and last week also i went there i know the truth
Rasika,
I can't find the link for that report I mentioned.
Here are two links for election results, that I am hoping to use.
SL Dept of Elections
LankaNewspapers.com 2005 results
Guys,
If you have any reliable links for election results please add them to this list.
Expatriate Sri Lankans and keyboard politikkas,
Your cock and bull theories don't work here. I'm on ground, visited a few places and looks like Maha Raja is winning.
Rumours are spreading like wildfire. People are worried what will happen tonight. Tomorrow is a holiday. That means trouble and curfew.
Shame on our politicians. Still can't do a proper election. Ponseka will vote soon. As with everything he comes last. Unlucky last this time.
Taan,
These bloggers are in USA.

That wouldn't look that good in MRs win. I can't imagine only 5% would vote. I think there would be at least 50% vote turn out in the North.

Over 10,000 election monitors to watch Sri Lanka polls
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 25, Colombo: Over 10,000 local and international election observers are gearing up to monitor tomorrow's presidential polls in Sri Lanka, the government said.
A contingent of 40 international poll monitors consisting of members from 13 countries is to observe the first presidential elections since the liberation of the country from terrorism last May.
According to the National Center for Monitoring Election sources said the monitors are to focus special attention on the conduct of the election. Two lawyers will be appointed to each electorate to monitor the election process, they said.
The monitors will visit over 11,000 polling centers in 25 districts of the country.
People's Action for Free and Fair Elections (PAFFREL) and Center for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) are the two accredited election monitoring groups for the upcoming presidential elections.
CMEV will deploy 3,790 monitors comprising 290 mobile monitors including 20 international observers and 3,500 monitors who will be stationed in polling centres throughout the country.
A total of 14,088,500 voters will be casting their votes at 11,098 polling stations tomorrow from 7.00 am to 4.00 pm.
thusitha,
jaffna turnout will be around 35% max.
what matters now is to win. they have various reasons not to vote. and as i pointed out b4, the jaffna voters register is 2 times exaggarated.
so 35% means 70% which is TOO HIGH for them.
another 25 minutes to go.
gonz MFs will be hyperactive during this time.
RETALIATE!!
Sri Lanka time now is 3.35pm on Tuesday 26, 2010.
25 mins more of voting left!

Our Motherland, resplendent Sri Lanka,
Hallowed be thy name!
Thy children flock today to vote,
To preserve thy immortal flame!
The Lion Flag flutters proudly aloft,
To remind us this freedom's day!
Our duty to keep thee, safe and strong,
As our forefathers did yesterday!
A Mahinda Rajapaksa by deed and word,
Strode forth boldly to eternal fame!
To lead his people to a safer world,
When all others retreated in shame!
Says: I tried to get registered in 2008 but couldn't :(
Sirasa repeatedly airing it every half minute now :D
TAAN said...
SF accepted his defeat and His not qulified to vote his face looks like filled with sadness
----------------------
Agree with Taan. Looked like a "geani marichcha miniha"
an american citizen trying to become the president of SL!!
this LOSER is not even a registered voter!!!
sam,
you could have highlighted this before!!
we could have made a fortune of it.
gonz already given up???
chandraL(LOSER)aL(LOSER).
Patriots,
I had previously posted at this blog a scenario in which Sarath Fonseka is acting on Mahinda Rajapakse's orders as a TROJAN HORSE to prevent a Victory by Anti-National Forces UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
Splitting of the Sinhala Vote would then NOT HELP THEM.
If that is the case, we will only learn about it after the General Election in April!
That possibility BOGGLES my Mind!
Lanket Putha;
[[Ananda the blog manipulator and ace multipolar deceptor and actor of the worst kind be ready to face reality tomorrow; by then your credibility will be non existent. Then we will talk and resolve other things.
Bye bye until then you thief of Baghdad ( SL integrity).]]
We know who you are. Well, we knew it. Here is proof.
guys,
we are partly correct. but this is not over until the final result is released.
gonz supporters plan to EXCHANGE ballot boxes!!!

Fonseka’s name not on voting list
January 26, 2010 03:50 pm
Bookmark and Share
Presidential Candidate Rtd. Gen. Sarath Fonseka making a special statement has said that his name was not included in the voting list hence he is will not vote. But he went to say that according to Article 31 section 1 of the Constitution of Sri Lanka he is eligible to contest the Presidential Election.
Fonseka further encouraged all voters to cast their votes and not be dissuaded by ‘false’ rumours.

I find that hard to believe now. Earlier maybe. The amount of destruction he caused is too much to think of him as a Trojan horse.

Does that explain the SundayLeader interview and everything else Gonsek has done? Taking our nation to the brink of disaster, selling us out to West/TNA/LTTE, trying to discredit the election by accusing MR of "rigging" and "coup" plotting, as well as the threats he issued afterwards. Ananda i must completely disagree with this.

Ananda, you are way off mark.
Do not entertain such hopes on this man who is a notorious psychopath.
So here we go. SL shud have better laws to prevent a man who is in the process of foreign nationality and not holding legal rights to vote right now becoming its president.
Sadly, most Swan-craze voted early in the morning. So the impact is low. As Moshe said it shud have been more highlighted, yet it is too late now.
Right now a huge amount of Swan-craze must be licking their wounds gained in past 2 months in the pain of being so badly deceived. Thanks to many other ppl they will not see the rest of the deception.
If you wanna see who is flocking around SF, only that SL-hating lunatic multipolar retired stud bull from NZL did it using several of his athmas here. A fitting union.

bloody shiit!!!
we should have picked this up in the morning.
that would have been the end of gonzeka.
Ananda;
Fully disagree. SF had done enough damage not to think so. But regardless all, I have a feeling taht SF will be in MR's pocket when he is dumped by all in 24hours.
With SF MR can "harvest" the last active UNP vote bloc and conquer the final castle.
STOP all premature celebrations NOW.
this isn't over yet although voting has concluded.
once again sam, had we thoought of this earlier, it would have been LOVELY.
GONZEKA what a suitable name for a bloody idiot.
Thusitha, Pol Sambol,
I agree with you it is hard to believe. I don't believe it myself now, after ALL of the Anti-Sri Lanka things he has done since he decided to run.
It is a PURE SPECULATION on my part, that I had advanced in the early days to explain SF's strange and inexplicable behavior.
But, if RW had led the opposition splitting the Sinhala vote as in the past, the Tamil separatists would have flocked to his banner. With SF, they were not sure what was going on. And, if SF was acting in collaboration with MR, that could explain all of the stupid things that he did to shoot himself in the foot. Also, SF's reported statement now on Sirasa TV is consistent with that view.
I am not trying to defend SF in anyway .. because I tend not to believe in these devious plots.
If there was such an arrangement, only MR can clear SF's name in my eyes, perhaps DECADES from now.
sk and ananda,
i have my doubts.
IF (i mean IF) so, they should keep quite.
gonz should take over a combine UNP and JVP and lead them to the GE. after GE merge with MR and change the constitution.
but this is wishful thinking. SF is a gone case anyway.
Could those of you who saw Gonseka's TV appearance on Sirasa, please tell us exactly what happened!
Pretty Please!
Whether SF comes begging MR or not, he should not be taken off the hook. This is an individual who should not have been in Army at all. This is an individual who should not be allowed to contest for President Post of a funeral benefit society.
This is a man who should be in jail for the rest of hi life.
Moshe Dyan said...

-------------------------------
I can't believe this either. Why didn't MRs team didn't pick on this? I am sure every one checked whether he can run for president, but no one check whether he could vote.
We would have gained more than 100,000 votes had we known this. Damn.
Sri Lanka time is 4.20pm now; the election ended 20 mins ago.
We would have gained more than 100,000 votes had we known this. Damn.
How so?
Gonseka supporters drunk on Gona aide would have voted anyway had this been revealed earlier. They would attack MR for "cheap tactics" and Gonseka will say as he has done, "vote any way".
I think SFists think that this is an evidence that he was committed to war not to politics therefore he is a true leader.
I think this is evidence that he was committed to adultery, alcholism, phone sex and brutalism

----------------------------------
Just speculating. Yeah, some times it is hard to understand how some SLs think. I mean, there is a reason for having a legislation from stopping a person from voting if he is in the process of acquiring foreign citizen ship. Shouldn't that be the case for a President as well. I mean we could have made a solid add campaign around it.
But having said that, when there are people are prepared to vote for traitor like RW, this kind of minor issues wouldn't dissuade them from voting for SF.
Swarnajith Udana said...

-------------------------------
Haha. Phone sex. Would a rapist enjoy lowly phone sex, which is for mere mortals like us.
OK Guys, what exactly did SF say on Sirasa TV?
The whole opposition is summed up in SF's not voting.
Anura Kumara: SF voted.
SF: I did not vote since my name is not in the voting list. I tried to register.
This is an admission that he cannot even fill a voter registration application card.
Thusitha there are circumstantial evidence of phone bill of many lakhs of Rs that he was talking to female soldiers.
A little while ago Sirasa TV announced that SF's candidancy is valid showing a letter issued by Elections Commissioner DD. State TV has gone silent after that. I don't know who's making the valid pts here, may be a leagal expert blogger can enlighten us
It was fun watching SF, RW, SS mumbling for words to counter the govmt claims. Govt certainly caught them off-guard. I have a fear that DD will become the man of the match at the end of the day not on this issue but on the overall result of the PE. Sirasa media was talking about election violence all morning trying to put up a case.
Anyway if this Gona cannot do something so simple, how can he be fit to be President?
DECOY,
Was State TV saying SF's candidacy was not valid prior to Sirasa TV showing the Elections Commissioner's letter?
Someone posted this comment on Ada Derana
January 26, 2010 04:01 pm
As per Article 88 of the Constituion no person can vote unless his name is entered in the Electrol Register and as per Article 92 of the Constitution, a Presidential Candidate should first qualify as an elector (voter).
Any constitutional experts around to confirm or negate this? Not that it really matters.
Ananda,
Yes they were saying. Sirasa showed a hurriedly arranged letter from DD issued to all media. This doesn't sound good
Personally i'd rather have MR win through the votes rather than some "technicality".
Many Gonsekerites would vote for him anyway ignoring these "lies" and "tricks" from MR as they and Gonseka would put it.
Furthermore if some heard of this and decided not to vote (i doubt it) Gonseka will complain his margin of defeat is larger because of "lies" and "tricks" by MR.
Wow! How could this have been permitted?
That a man ineligible to VOTE in SL, can be a CANDIDATE to run for the highest government post in the land!
LUDICROUS!
Sarath Fonseka is a Crazy Man!

Sri Lanka opposition candidate not registered to vote, but eligible to contest
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 26, Colombo: The common opposition candidate General Sarath Fonseka cannot cast his vote at the presidential elections as he is not registered voter, but he is eligible to contest the election, the Election Commissioner Dayananda Dissanayake said.
General Fonseka's name is not listed in the 2008 voter registration list and hence he is not eligible to cast his vote.
Dispelling the rumors that he is not eligible to contest, the opposition candidate urged the voters to cast their ballots and not dissuade by the government's 'false rumors'.
A statement released by the Elections Commissioner short while ago states that a candidate need not to be a registered voter nor cast his vote in order to be eligible to run for office.
Wonder what "election monitoring" Western funded NGO monkeys have to say, its their lackey so unsurprisingly they will say its "ok" hikz...
Guys, in the daily mirror where users comments are posted with (+) and (-) for the comments, if you put a (-) for a positive gonzeka comment---it becomes a (+) by about 3 more points. But if you put a (+) for a MR supporting comment it becomes a (-) by about 2 more.
Try it and check it out.
Counting of postal votes will begin at 6.00pm, one hour from now.

---------------------------
I totally agree with SU. This man is not worth even being put in your imaginations on a good role.
Guys can you remember that according to fonseka if the Voters turnover exceed 80% he's going to win so i think now turnove is less than 80% :D is that mean hes going to be a looser according to his previous words???? :D
Did Gonseka not register because it would affect his US Citizenship?
Comment in DM:
It is very strange that while the EC requires every voter to be registered in the Electoral Register, he does not think it necessary that people who run for office should be responsible enough to see that they have their own voter rights? This shows a conflicting argument. A pertinent question might then be: Is the EC doing a CYA???
Even if on a technicality of law the EC may be correct, it shows that Gen. Fonseka has shown that this nation CANNOT be entrusted to him when he has not seen to it that his own franchise is ensured. This is sloppiness to say the least!
At the end of the day, if Gen. Fonseka wins the election, this might end up in the Supreme Court. As citizens we can only hope that we will not have more subterfuge from that august body as they did with the 13th Amendment!!

Sri Lanka election ends peacefully
ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 26, Colombo: As the polling at the historic presidential elections in Sri Lanka comes to an end this evening, the election monitors say the voting has been peaceful for the most past except for some minor incidents in the North.
The voting ended at 4:00 p.m. without any major incidents. Brisk voting was seen with people patiently lining up in long queues to vote with great enthusiasm that has not been seen in previous polls.
Over 14 million voters were eligible to vote at 11,098 polling centers island wide. Counting will commence at 6:00 p.m. with the postal votes being counted first.
The voters have turned up in large numbers to cast their ballots at the crucial election where the race between the two major candidates, incumbent president Mahinda Rajapaksa and the opposition candidate General Sarath Fonseka had been intense.
This presidential election, the first held after defeating the LTTE last May gave the opportunity for the people in the North and East to exercise their franchise freely.
General Secretary of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, Minister Maithripala Sirisena said highest number of voters has come forward to vote and under such circumstances the victory of President Mahinda Rajapaksa is assured.
Executive Director of the People's Action for Free and Fair Elections (PAFFREL) Rohana Hettiarachchi said the election was conducted in a free and fair manner, except for several minor incidents.
The national coordinator of the National Election Monitoring Centre Rasanga Harischandra said the poll has been extremely peaceful and more voters are participating in voting with interest.
The Center for Monitoring Election Violence reported some minor explosions in Jaffna with no injuries. These incidents were in addition to the hand grenade attack reported in the early morning on the residence of Sri Lanka Freedom Party coordinator of Uduppidi in Velvettithurai.
Meanwhile Director General of the Media Centre for National Security Lakshman Hulugalla said the security forces thwarted an alleged attempt by the opposition to destabilize the security measures taken by the government to conduct a free and fair election.

PE Poll Results
MR will win by
>70% <1%
60-70% = 42%
50-60% = 38%
40-50% <1%
<40% = 20%
150 SLDF bloggers cast votes.
More than 80% of you said MR will win.
42% of you said MR will by a LANDSLIDE of 60-70% of the vote.
jaffna voters turnout has been around 20% with kilinochchi electorate 8%.
this means the maximum lead gonzeka can get from jaffna is only 65,000.
about 100,000 less than gonzeka estimates.
vanni and batticaloa are shit districts. unfortunately high voters turnout here.
SF must lose in nuwara eliya.
Why do people came in large numbers to vote? Is it to make a change or make sure MR get a bigger margin? Please think about it before you come to a conclusion. No one is sure about the outcome so no one is courageous to give decent prediction. I may be wrong but yet i have my prediction a close one i suppose
I found these links to watch Sri Lankan TV online:
ITN
Sirasa
Rupavahini
Rupavahini link is a bit slow.. I hope these help those abroad.
Ananda;
Terribly sorry I wasn't around when you guys were looking for the news.
Following is what SF said in press conf as reported by Sirasa.
-------
... [it started at some midpoint of the tape] this should not be a reason for you not to vote for me as I am an eligible candidate for the election. Therefore I would like to request everyone to vote for me despite this fact [i.e.although I am not voting]
--------
He has given a call to sirasa which I missed, and I heard that he said that he tried to register from 2008 and failed. But that is not a reason for disqualification and ppl shud vote.
--------
Rupavahini running a program with a lawyer Champani , kept on saying that SF is ineligible. This again I cud not follow thoroughly. As per him SF is disqualified.
-------
Dayananda D issues this notice which accepts SF as legal candidate
--------
It looks very clear that MR side didnt know this very very important fact. Had they played the right cards this morning [or last night] there cud have been some shaky SF supporter refraining.
On the other hand, had they known this from beginning they'd over play it from December and make every tom dick and harry run a random shooting on SF until public hate it and say, "hey, we don't give a f*ck". Many of SF issues taht public shud "give a f*ck" got away thanks to foolish propa of MR side.
Nevertheless this voting power issue never played a big role as most SF supporters voted early in the morning. Yet it shud have held back at least a tiny amount of votes anyway.
And people say we treat LTTE Badly. Look how Canada delivers punishment.
Two Canadians were sentenced to 25 years in prison yesterday for attempting to buy heat-seeking missiles
Two Canadians were sentenced to 25 years in prison yesterday for attempting to buy heat-seeking missiles and military assault rifles for Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers rebels.
Thiruthanikan Thanigasalam and Sahilal Sabaratnam were sentenced in U.S. District Court in New York, where they were caught in 2006 trying to buy Russian SA-18 missiles and AK-47s. They pleaded guilty last January.
The missiles were to be used to shoot down Sri Lankan military aircraft that were then bombing the rebels' enclave. The plot was directed by the senior leadership of the Tamil Tigers.
Well I thought Sakwithi is the best, well I am badly mistaken.
Here we have SF instead of Sakwithi !
SF Rocks !
SF's election campaign is all ways filled with lies and we should not be surprised to see ending it with a big lie.
Glad most of the in this blog expect a few (may be perhaps just only one person with several handles) fell in to it.
When SF as the Army commander asked for half a million more troops Kevin thought it would be a beginning of a dictatorship in making,though you guys naively cheered him but we felt uneasy about it.
So lets hope that MR will gets a second term.
By the way Kev in Haiti for the next few days organizing philanthropic work for those unfortunate people.He is spending his own money and seems to have met some Sri Lankans there.

@kevins friend, no one really knew what kind of traitorous venom filled rat we were dealing with.
And in honesty i do not object to making the Army larger for security reasons (obviously not with this mutt at the helm of the country).
Good morning my fellow Yankee Ananda
God bless the land of USA where we can write freely without fearing of a white van - the great Buddhist cultural inspiration.

The time takes to withdraw $100 from a US bank is less than 5 sec.
I went to police station to file a complaint about the neighbor who stole my coconut. There were two police women at the desk to take down my complaint.
One said to other "Can you write down his complaint?" (ane oya liyanko meka). The other said, my hand hurts, can you write down? (Mage atha ridenawa, oya liyanko).
Then that conversation went on for few minutes:
Ane be, oya liyanko
Ane oya liyanko.
It took me two hours in the police station to file a report.
No action has been taken to date.
Tell me where is our path to development?

When Too many people are accessing that web site then the individual transactions get slows down,depending on the bandwidth and the numbers of its usable ports,thus slowing down and eventually grinding to a halt, when that happens the search engine will prevent you the access to that website.So you must try another time.I am sure the gateway to SL must be saturated now,judging by the T. calls been misdirected or unconnected.They should site these websites,if they are constantly busy in countries like UK where the system's bandwidth and routes are plentiful.Mustn't forget the patriots living abroad trying to access the bandwidth eating TVs on line,reasons for being so slow to download.

How to watch the results.
Friend, here is a tip, look for those small SLFP dominated electorates that get counted early, like Dompe, Hakmana, Balangoda etc. SF doesnt have to win those, but if he can cut the gap that was present between MR and Ranil from 2005, look out for a tight race, if SF cant close the gap in these SLFP electorates, he better book flights.

What do you mean by small SLFP dominated areas..Mr.DESHAPALUWA
----------------------------
I meant traditional SLF electorates, that have voted SLF historically. Samll ones because their results come out early.
If you see a trend that in those small traditional SLFP electorates SF is cutting the gap that was present between MR and Ranil that means he has gained SLFP support, and it will be a very tight race

That is bentara-elpitiya eloctorate
@Desha,
Hey, you have forgot Atthanagalla, well having roots in a traditional SLFP electorate what I can say is SF won't get any lead cut off from these traditional electorates, I am pretty sure MR will widen the lead this time around.
Also according to the postal vote results so far MR is conveniently placed ahead. From my perceptive the postal votes reflect the situation around the January 12th and 13th(Postal vote days) as I remember, at this time SF's propaganda is at peak and most us thought that MR's percentage is something around 55%.
So it seems postal voters( Government servants) did not buy SF's promises (Rs. 10000, end of corruption, etc.) and did not went for the so-called change despite heavy propaganda campaign.
So can't we expect the same result from electorates as well?
Like to get your thoughts on this.
May be the MR camp new this SF's vote issue. Therefore they knew that SF cannot become the President but wanted to let continue the campaign to win in a more real manner than in a virtual manner on a technicality.
That may be why they chose not to use some MBRLs that were available to them.
The opposition's Presidential campaign is summed up in SF's not being a voter.
A farce.
IN a way because of the crimes he has committed it is natural that he should not have the voting power let alone being eligible to contest.
There had never been a politcal campaign like this that is founded on lies and that has been proven again and again.

@Desha,
Hey, you have forgot Atthanagalla,
ATT will be an eception this time. There are tens of thousands of people who personaly benefited from Bandaranayake family, Anura, CBK ect. They almost worship these people, and they believe MR mistreated CBK and Anura so it is not a good indicator electorate.
----------------------------------
So it seems postal voters( Government servants) did not buy SF's promises (Rs. 10000, end of corruption, etc.) and did not went for the so-called change despite heavy propaganda campaign.
------------------------------
I agree, Postal votes show the trend in Governmnet servents and middle class educated voting block.
SF targetted this block heavily, with is lies about corruption, Rajapaksha family tree and his elaborate promises.
Looks like those tactics have not worked, we'll have to wait and see another few postal votes to conclude this trend.
By the way did you read C.A. Chandrapremas article in The Island and Divaina? It is now on my site. A good read.

I think the gov did not know the issue.They didn't expect that.I know surely the gov did not want to drop the chances to hit SF
F***** hell,
The info I got on the postal votes are way off the mark..I so gladly will put my foot in my mouth ...However the wrong intel certainly must have helped galvanize the MR campaign..
Desha,
Isn't it usually results from electorates in the smaller districts (i.e. Matale, H'tota, P'nuwa) that are announced first?
