Unrest at vote counting centre at Jaffna on arrival of Sumanthiran- STF massed
When Sumanthiran went to the vote counting centre at Jaffna central College, people gathered there showed strong opposition to him.
Because of this tension prevailed in the area and STF was massed at the site.
In a context where optional voting results were to be announced, the commotion at the site made the announcement of the results be delayed.
Unconfirmed sources said that Mrs. Sasikala Raviraj won the second place and Sumanthiran who had lost in optional voting was “manipulated” in as the 3rd MP of the TNA.
