Speaking to Daily Mirror by phone from Kandy, Mr. Dissanayake said that of the preference votes counted by that time, he had more than 78 percent of preferences from the total number of votes polled by the UNP in the Kandy district.  “I have so far obtained more than 183,000 preferences, and the votes are still being counted. It is a record.  Earlier, this record was held by former President Chandrika Kumaratunga. However, she polled less than 65 percent of preferences,” he said.The total number of votes polled by the UNP in the Kandy district is 237,827.</blockquote>
