Presidential Election In Sri Lanka
Motorists are riding past an election billboard with "At the moment, Ranil is" in Sinhala language in suburban Rathmalana, Sri Lanka, on July 21, 2024. Recently, President Ranil Wickremesinghe is issuing a gazette proposing changes to the constitutional provisions about presidential terms. Critics are arguing that this could complicate the upcoming election, although government officials are maintaining that the gazette is unrelated to the election timeline. Constitutional experts are stating that the current presidential term is fixed at five years, with no ambiguity present. This election is being the first since the significant political upheaval in 2022, which saw former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa resign amid widespread protests. The current political climate is being marked by calls for change and skepticism towards established political parties. (Photo by Akila Jayawardena/NurPhoto)
