President's Election Manifesto Launch Postponed At The Last Moment
Sunday, 21 December 2014 10:56

Launch of President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s election manifesto “Mahinda Chinthana thun  kal dekma” has been postponed due to undisclosed reasons.

The launch was scheduled to take place tomorrow (22) under the auspices of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

According to highly placed sources of the government, the launch will now take place on December 25, barely 12 days before the date of the presidential election.

When asked about the delay, a senior spokesperson of the government said it was due to a “printing issue”. However, he said he did not wish to elaborate on details.

The election manifesto of President Rajapaksa is to be launched under the theme “a secure country and a brighter future”.

Meanwhile, certain sections of the opposition claimed that the government was buying time to launch its election manifesto because it had decided to add some last minute inclusions to counter the proposals of Common Candidate

Maithripala Sirisena’s election manifesto.
