Sri Lanka will also discourage other countries in the  region from voting for him,” the cabinet minister said.          “The government will begin the campaigns soon after discussions with the respective governments,” the minister added.          The term of Ban Ki Moon as the UN Secretary General will expire on  December 31, 2011 and he is eligible for re-appointment into a second  term.         Ban Ki Moon has been in troubled waters with the Sri Lankan government  especially after his decision to appoint an expert panel to advise him  on accountability issues relating to Sri Lanka.          Despite repeated calls from the Sri Lankan government stating that such  a panel was ‘unwarranted’ and ‘uncalled’ for Ban Ki Moon has maintained  that his panel will remain and will submit a report to him within a  period of four months.<a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/index.php/news/5387-lanka-to-oppose-ban.html" target="_blank">Dailymirror</a></blockquote>
