Polls results will be annulled –Gen. Sarath Fonseka

Opposition common Presidential candidate Gen. Sarath Fonseka categorically rejected the 2010 Presidential election results as orchestrated and manipulated from the very moment the President said ‘go’ by announcing the Presidential elections January 2010.

 
The President  had flouted all the laws of the country by not implementing the 17th amendment to the constitution – not appointing the independent Commissions including the Elections Commission, the Police commission and the public service Commission which are  imperative for a fair and free election. Indeed the President  in these circumstances , by taking  the law into his  hands disregarding the rule of law and the constitution has not presented even himself from a legal substratum. Therefore , in that context , the whole edifice from the legal point of view has collapsed . It is better, the President if he has such a maniacal greed for power, instead of  holding   foul elections simply declared himself as the self proclaimed President without wasting colossal amounts of people’s money on the elections.  This election was not a fair and free election at all , he emphasized.
 
Gen. Fonseka has  sent a letter to the Elections Commissioner not to declare the final results officially until the legal proceedings filed are over. He alleged that he received more than 5 million votes though the Govt. announcement said, he secured only 4.1 million votes.
The Govt. has called back the 70 security personnel he was provided with . He said the Govt. is deliberately laying him bare to dangers to his life. He has sought the support of the International community for his safety .
 
While thanking all those who supported him braving all odds and coming forward fearlessly to exercise their franchise despite the Govt. intimidations and  murderous activities  .He added, street protests will be launched against this election fraud in the coming weeks .
