As the January 2015 campaign begins informally, Ivan argues that a third-term candidacy under the Eighteenth Amendment shows a government that has lost all shame. He recalls the Kalawana case after 1977, when an election petition by Sarath Muttetuwegama unseated the UNP’s Pilapitiya and Speaker Bakeer Markar’s ruling produced two members for one seat, to show how elections were once policed. He lists the corrupt practices defined in the Presidential Elections Act of 1981 that the head of state is committing, and contrasts the discipline of India’s election commission, which checked even Narendra Modi.
