US commends Presidential polls

 
The United States commended the people of Sri Lanka for their spirited participation in the democratic process to elect the country's sixth Executive President.

Responding to queries on Sri Lanka's presidential election held Tuesday at the State Department daily press briefing, the Assistant Secretary of State Philip Crowley said the US commend the people of Sri Lanka for a 72 percent turnout.

"That is something that is truly remarkable," he said.

He said that the election was a spirited one and there is nothing that would call into question the results.
