A very notable significant feature when the general elections results 2015 are analysed is the
failure for the Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka of the Democratic Party who fielded candidates for several districts failing to secure a solitary seat in the parliament.

In the Colombo district the Democratic Party could secure only 5238 votes. However when Sarath Foseka contested as the common candidate in the 2010 presidential election he fetched over 41 lakhs of votes.
