Andy my good friend.
Let us leave it at that..

read this
Pillayan insisted he was eligible for the Chief Minister post as he has got the highest preferential votes. He secured 41,936 preferential votes ahead of Hisbullah, who has secured 35,949 preferential votes, according to reports.
The ruling UPFA General Secretary, Minister Susil Premjayanth, told media last week that the alliance agreed to offer the post to the ethnic community that secures most number of councillors.
The unofficial results indicate that more Muslim councillors were elected than Tamil councillors for the Eastern Provincial Council.
If the government abides by the earlier pledge, Hisbullah, who crossed over to the government from the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) days before the nominations, should be appointed Chief Minister.
A Muslim government minister has also expressed his support to the regional Muslim leader. Minister Najeeb A Majeed said Hisbulla is more experienced to hold a public office. He has held many public offices including being a minister. And he has a very good record of working for the Tamil and Muslim unity, the minister said.

'I am the CM' says Hisbullah

Mr. Hisbullah says it is his right to be CM according to the agreement
The Muslim leader of the ruling party who won the Eastern Provincial Council (EPC) says he should be appointed as the new Chief Minister (CM).

MLAM Hisbullah told BBC Sandeshaya that the ruling United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) will appoint him as the new CM within the next few days.

I will be appointed as the new Chief Minister as soon as the President comes back from abroad, he said.

Pillian should be the CM of eastern province. MR should implement the power sharing proposal to give more powers to provinces including the police, education, health, etc.


Agreed.

Don't count on agreements Sinhala Buddhist leaders sign, the papers they sign on is worth more than their signatures.

There have been many many agreements in the past none was honoured. I am sorry you must be fool to have left the SLMC and crossed over to MR party.

Fools never learn.

Sinhalese simply divide Tamil Speaking people in East. Mahinda has promised both Pilliyan and Hisbullah for the 'puppet' CM post.

He and his advisers knew both parties will fight for it, eventually division between Tamil and Muslim people would widen.

When unrest between Tamil and Muslim widens, Sinhalese would use armed forces to facilitate the colonization in the name of development.
