Press Release
It has been 31 years since the Executive Presidential system was introduced. Sri Lanka, the little wonder of Asia is in its biggest crisis. Having amended the constitution through 18th amendment, the incumbent President of Sri Lanka has made it clear that his family members, government ministers and their cronies can openly violate the law and order. The police have been assigned the role of being the judge and executioner and extra judicial killings are widespread in the police. The police force has been made into a personal serfdom of the President, an independent elections commission is non functional and the judiciary is being manipulated through indirect perks, privileges and benefits. President Rajapaksa and his government has created an unviable economy, continuing to spend massive amounts on recurrent expenditure that constantly exceeds its estimates. Most of Sri Lankan living in the UK had raised their concerns over the prevailing situation of Sri Lanka but left with no option but to force their families and friends to use their ‘Votes’ wisely at the elections.

Now that, a snap Presidential Election has been called by the President Mahinda Rajapaksa violating the constitution of the country. The General Secretary of ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party Mr Maithripala Sirisena has come forward to challenge the incumbent President and is contesting to safe guard the country being another Zimbabwe. As Sri Lankans living here in the UK, we realized and feel that its our duty to make a contribution to our motherland and join hand with our fellow Sri Lankans to make a real change at the upcoming presidential election.

Having this as our prime objective, a group of Sri Lankans representing United National Party, Sri Lanka Freedom Party, Jathika Hela Urumaya, Democratic Party and other political parties and civil groups have formed an organization called ‘ Support Maithri UK Team’ to actively support the election campaign of Mr Maithripala Sirisena.

The Support Maithri UK team is hosting a ‘Public Meeting’ to pledge the support to Common Presidential Candidate Maithripala Sirisena on the 28th Dec ( Sunday) 2014 from 3.00pm to 5.00pm at Whitton Community Centre, Whitton, Twickenham ( London) TW2 6JL. The Support Maithri UK team cordially invite all Sri Lankans living in the UK to participate to this meeting and be a part of success of Maithripala Sirisena’s election campaign.
