Founder of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and national organiser, Basil Rajapaksa slammed the SLPP nomination board for awarding nominations to certain individuals, who he deemed as unfit to run to contest.
Addressing a campaign meeting, Rajapaksa said that a female candidate sent him a video clip recently where she said the SLPP had awarded nominations to horses and donkeys and that she had requested for his feedback.
"I responded saying, though there are no mules and horses among candidates, there was definitely a mule in the nomination board and that is why you were given a nomination," said Basil Rajapaksa.
On the 09th of July, Oshadhi Hewamadduma contesting from the SLPP said President Gotabaya Rajapaksa will endure the fate of the former government if intelligent individuals are not elected to parliament.
She further said the SLPP awarded nominations for mules and horses adding the people must only vote for the horses and not the mules.
