Numerous in the nation likewise credit his organization for bringing steadiness and effectively containing the coronavirus flare-up this year.
In any case, he is additionally blamed for human rights maltreatment during the almost three-decades-in length common war that finished in 2009, and of focusing on the individuals who disagreed during the past standard by the Rajapaksas. He has consistently excused the allegations, however they have never disappeared.
"We were sure about this triumph. We can see that individuals have set bunches of certainty on us since they have acknowledged the likely arrangement we have put before them - that is our pronouncement," Sagara Kariyawasam, the overall secretary of the SLPP, told the BBC.

The political confusion that followed prompted requires a solid head, and Mr Rajapaksa was the common decision for the Sinhalese greater part. Since he became president, they state, he has acquired political solidness and security.
