Sri Lanka’s Presidential Election: Risks and Opportunities

Crisis Group

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This briefing discusses Sri Lanka’s presidential election promises. It promises more competition than was initially anticipated but with that comes a great risk of violence. Long-term stability and post-war reconciliation can only be achieved through a peaceful election resulting in a government committed to serving the interests of all Sri Lankans.
