Millions of Sri Lankans voted in the presidential election to choose a new leader who will have the challenging task of rebuilding the country’s economy after a severe financial crisis. The election is a close contest between the incumbent President, the main opposition leader, and a Marxist-leaning challenger. The voting process involves casting three preferential votes, and if no candidate receives over 50% of the votes, a second round of counting will take place. The winner will need to stick with an IMF programme to stabilize the economy, attract investors, and lift many people out of poverty.
