WHAT HAPPENED TO 58LAKH VOTES WHO VOTED FOR MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA

• The number of registered voters is the same as January
• In January 2015 the number of voters were 12,264,377
• In August 2015 the number of voters were 11,684,098
• This means 580,279 did not vote in August 2015
• In January 2015 the number of rejected votes were 140,925
• In August 2015 the number of rejected votes were 517,123
• There are 376,198 more rejected votes than January
• The total of people who didn’t go to vote in August and those whose votes were rejected in August = 1,097,402
• The question on a lot of people’s mind is what happened to the 58 lakhs Mahinda Rajapaksa secured in January 2015 which the SLFP/UPFA was expecting would have increased throughout the past 8 months. However the January total 5,768,090 has come down to 4,732,664 with a deficit of1,029,426
• What happened to the 1,029,426?
• The total of rejected votes and those who did not vote come to 1,097,402.
• Can we believe that only Mahinda Rajapaksa’s 517,123 supporters rejected their votes?
• Can we believe that only SLFP/UPFA 580,279 supporters did not go to vote?
• If we reduce 1,097,402 from the deficit of 1,029,426 we get 67976
• Presuming we take the votes secured by all the independents / the BBS & the FSP we get 70554 (Reduce 70554 from 67976 you get 2578
• Anyone wondering what happened to 1,209,426 now have somewhere to end their search and realize what happened to the missing numbers!

Didn’t someone say the computer crashed on counting day!
