SJB objects to counting Ranil's preferential votes

News

The Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB) has objected to counting preferential votes of United National Party (UNP) Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe, pointing out that the cut-off mark for counting preferential votes was not reached

The Secretary of SJB, Ranjith Maddumbandra, issuing a statement said that the UNP is desperately trying to count the preferential votes of Ranil Wickremesinghe despite the fact that UNP had not reached the cut-off of five percent votes in the Colombo district.

He said that they condemn the move of the UNP as it is unconstitutional as the Constitution clearly states the cut-off mark for counting preferential votes. Therefore, he said they have complained to the election commission as well as taking legal action against the move.
