Endorsement for the Sinhala Presidential Elections

On Tuesday 26 January, Juche 99, the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka will hold its presidential elections. The elections were called 2 years early, by incombent president, Mahinda Rajapaksa. He decided to hold the elections following the popular victory of Sinhala forces against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. In these elections, I will endorse Rajapaksa against General Fonseka. I am endorsing him, because I think, although, Rajapaksa did not do any of the fighting, I feel that the victory in the civil war can be accredited to him because of his leadership. I also support moves he has made to increase media restrictions. The political party I support, the Sinhala Freedom Party, is also endorsing Rajapaksa.
