Ballot the best way to express democracy - Minister Rambukwella
Refusing allegations that the government is conducting Eastern polls in haste, the Defence spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said ballot is the best way to express people’s supremacy and it is the responsibility of the government to grant this right.

Addressing media in Colombo this morning (March 31) Minister said the willingness of the communities to enter the democratic political stream was clearly expressed through the recently concluded Batticaloa local government elections.

The Government will hold elections as scheduled and has no intention to postpone elections citing security reasons, he added.
