According to media source,following a succession of political and economic ups and downs, Sri Lanka will vote for a new President later this month in an election that will be closely observed by not just India, but also China and the rest of the globe.A record 39 candidates are vying for the polls on September 21, with no clear frontrunners yet.
As per media reports,Ajit Doval, India’s National Security Adviser, visited Sri Lanka last week, which is significant given India’s strategic interests in the country.Doval attended the Colombo Security Conclave and also met with Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe. The 75-year-old is running for reelection as an independent candidate.This will be Sri Lanka’s first elections since the catastrophic economic crisis in 2022, which sparked major protests and forced former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa out of office.Notably, while 56 percent of the electorate is purportedly female, all candidates are male. The election is significant for the country, which has around 17.1 million eligible voters, including a million first-time voters.
