Shehara Herath from UNP, who promotes himself as former Speaker @KaruOnline& #39;s Secretary while breaking the law, wins prize for most innovative disclaimer around who paid for ad(s). There& #39;s even a (strange, vacuous) website pegged to & #39;People of Gampaha& #39;. Right. #LKAElections2020 https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">

Some ad(s)/campaigns taken down by Facebook. Most though were allowed during cooling period & election day. Worse, a few are still active. Just adds to deluge of evidence https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Sb7HNKNpPTIdygijkem7NRqgxKLnXAUrW2IWF_SjXk/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/... around fact that @ECSriLanka is now part of propaganda problem & not solution to it.
