Gotabaya Rajapksa, now widely known as the 'terminator', is very much likely to be named as Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna's (Pohottuwa) presidential candidate at a gala convention scheduled to be held at the Sugathadasa Indoor Stadium at 3 p.m. today.
Once Gotabhaya gains the presidential candidacy, SLPP supporters will be holding countrywide celebrations pre-organized by joint opposition MPS and former SLFP Ministers.
The outcome of the presidential election cannot be predicted at present but the people should be aware of Gota's presidential election campaign aimed at winning the election by hook or by crook, political analysts said.
People should be cautioned that Gota’s election campaign (if he is nominated) will be spearheaded by his military gang and ‘Viyath Maga’ pundits including stock market manipulators, white color criminals, opportunists and other stooges, they pointed out.
If Gotabaya gains power, our democracy faces a real crisis as the so called terminator will proceed to terminate democratic institutions and true messengers of the island, civil society activists warned.
Political parties and organized citizens must rally round and form an alliance to defend democratic norms and save the motherland from dictators surrounded by retired and frustrated military personnel, they added.
