Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today rejected the government allegations saying that he had tried to use the military to remain in office after the election defeat. “I deny in the strongest terms the reports of attempts to use the military to influence election results. During decades in politics, I have always bowed to the people's verdict. Wins and losses are a natural part of political life,” Mr Rajapaksa tweeted in his official twitter handle this morning. 'I accepted the outcome long before the final results were released and congratulated the new president- MR' he said.
