Five days before the official campaign to one of the most voluble Sri Lankan Presidential election is to end, the incumbent Mahinda Rajapaksa and his chief opponent and the consensus opposition nominee retired General Sarath Fonseka have vowed not to allow break up of the island nation. <br/><br/>Billed as the mother of all elections in the post Prabhakaran era, Lanka watchers are closely looking at the outcome of the elections which could pave way for policies on resolution of the ethnic conflict which has eluded a solution for three decades. <br/><br/>AIR correspondent since the decisive military victory over LTTE, Sri Lanka is struggling in its effort for consensus amongst all stake holders in refashioning its weakened democratic institutions and establishing conditions for stable peace. In the run up to the election, the former Army Chief secured the support of the post-Prabhakaran Tamil National Alliance (TNA) but is now faced with charges of a `secret pact’ pledging re-merger of the northern and eastern provinces. <br/><br/>Though Fonseka has vehemently denied the allegation leveled by campaign managers of the President, it has emerged as one of the dominant themes in the last days to the run up to the campaign. It was against this backdrop that both Mr. Rajapaksa and the former army Chief Fonseka with an eye on perhaps the majority community voter deemed it necessary to rake up the issue of not letting anyone revive any separatist movement at their respective rallies across the length and breadth of the island. <br/><br/>The campaign office of the President quoted him as saying at a rally that he is not prepared to betray the country for an election and vowed to defeat all forces which are attempting to divide the country after it was liberated from terrorists eight months ago.<br/> <br/>Meanwhile, a report posted on the main opposition United National Party (UNP) quoted Fonseka as telling a crowd in the home district of Mr. Rajapaksa, Hambantota that he who saved the country from getting divided by destroying the Tiger terrorists will not allow anyone under any circumstance, any day to divide the country which he strived hard, sacrificed and saved.
