Sri Lanka will hold its presidential election on Sept. 21 in a crucial vote that will decide the future of the South Asian nation.
The election is seen as a referendum on President Ranil Wickremesinghe 's two-year-long rule that has overseen a fragile recovery of the country's economy.
He faces a tough challenge from the leader of the opposition in parliament, as well as from a left-leaning politician.
A 2% growth is predicted for 2024 , the highest since the economic collapse.
But financial benefits have not reached the common people, many are affected by high living costs.
Businesses and professionals are complaining of high taxes.
A large section of the population is also unhappy because it believes Wickremesinghe ’s administration protected the Rajapaksa family.
