Curtain down on Campaign
All campaign activities leading up to Saturday’s Presidential Election drew to a close at midnight yesterday, with the main candidates in the fray holding their final election rallies. President Ranil Wickremesinghe held his final meeting at Grandpass junction, while Sajith Premadasa, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, and Namal Rajapaksa held theirs at the Maradana Tower Hall junction, Nugegoda, and Piliyandala, respectively. Large crowds among the party faithful attended the final rallies, which were also enlivened by the now-familiar musical shows and other attractions. This was the culmination of all the political rallies held by the parties that commenced with the handing in of nominations on August 15. At the final rallies, the candidates made one last bid to draw the attention of the floating voters, who, as in all previous elections, are going to be the deciding factor this time around too.
