Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you for the opportunity, Hon. Deputy Speaker.
¶ 02 Before addressing today’s debate, I wish to state: in the two elections before the recent local government poll, our people placed their trust in the National People’s Power (NPP) as the team that can rebuild this country. In the local government elections as well, the people confirmed that trust by vesting the NPP with control in a majority of institutions. The Opposition must accept that they have been rejected in two successive elections and again in this one. I take this opportunity to thank the people of Sri Lanka who worked for the NPP’s victory in the recent local polls.
