The US Government congratulated the President and the UPFA for their victory in the election in a statement issued by the US Embassy in Colombo yesterday.

The release said: “The United States congratulates President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) for their historic victory in the first nationwide parliamentary election in decades.

This victory, coupled with the President’s win in January’s contest, provides a mandate to move forward on the important issues the President discussed during the campaign, such as national and ethnic reconciliation, decentralizing power, economic development, and securing human rights.
