Politics in Sri Lanka is taking strange turns. For nearly a decade Sri Lanka was under an all-powerful president, an imposing man who ended a three decade war and carried out massive infrastructure projects, resulting in five years of 7 percent growth.
Amid a closely-contested presidential election, Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa has moved out of his official residence, an official said on Friday.
The first result of Sri Lanka's 2015 Presidential Election was released late on Thursday with incumbent President Mahinda Rajapaksa achieving leading number of votes.
Voting started in Sri Lanka's presidential election on Thursday, which is tipped to be a close race with the incumbent president Mahinda Rajapaksa fighting for an unprecedented third term.
Political party crossovers, election law violations and an intense debate over Sri Lanka's economic future are the main ingredients that spice up the island' s presidential election scheduled for early January next year.
