Nadesapillai Vithyatharan, the leader of the independent group composed of rehabilitated former LTTE cadres, voted this morning in Jaffna.

Vithyatharan, a former editor of the Uthayan, casted his vote at Jaffna Primary School.

The rehabilitated ex-LTTE cadres had asked for nominations through the TNA. After they were denied nominations through the TNA, this group decided to contest as an independent group.
