Statement
Issued by Hon Ranil Wickremesinghe

The
people of our country will have yet another opportunity to exercise their
democratic right to choose a leader of their choice. No one can stop, coerce or
in any other way wrest this right away from them.
I
request with all sincerity and with the greatest respect from all our voters
that they proceed to their respective polling booths and exercise their
franchise silently, courageously and with a sense of pride.
I
also request that everyone, regardless of the candidate they voted for,
celebrate the victory of democracy after the final results are announced in a
spirit of friendship drawn from the commonality of shared citizenship in our
fair land. In particular, as the Leader of the Opposition, I request that you
contribute to building a new and more wholesome political culture in our
country by standing up to defend your neighbour who may have been at odds with
you politically should the need arise.
