As the Head of the State refrained neutral a free, fair and peaceful election could be held – President
Tuesday, 18 August 2015 20:00
President Maithripala Sirisena in a Special Message to the Nation said the election held yesterday was the most peaceful election in the political history of this country, ever witnessed since the very first General Election held in 1947.
“And you all know very well that the just concluded election was a completely a different experience. An Election of a different form,” he said.
“I am extremely happy that a very peaceful election was held for the first time in Sri Lanka’s history at a time where I hold the reigns as President of this country. The key lesson one draws from this election is, that such a pleasant outcome of an election comes when the Head of the State refrains from getting involved in the election campaign per se and stays neutral which contributes heavily to the holding of a peaceful election,” the President said.
