Let northern voters choose chief minister

Friday, 2 August 2013 00:00 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The UPFA Government has categorically stated that it will not nominate candidates as chief minister candidates in the provinces where they are contesting. This shows that they are allowing the people of the respective provinces to elect persons of their choice as the chief ministers through their preferential votes. This is a highly democratic process and is one which should be emulated by other political parties as well. In that regard, the TNA would do well to follow suit and give the opportunity to the voters of the Northern Province to choose the chief minister of the Northern Provincial Council. In such a situation, certain leaders of the TNA who have worked hard for the people of that area would definitely be more popular than Justice C.V. Wigneswaran, who has not done anything for the people of that area, or even sacrificed one day’s service towards the north. It is therefore hoped that the leadership of the TNA would respect the wishes of the people, who for 25 years were deprived of the opportunity of electing a chief minister of their choice, to do so at this important moment in the nation’s history.
