Presidential election crucial for Sri Lanka’s future: Prez Wickremesinghe

COLOMBO: Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe has said that the presidential elections scheduled to be held later this year will determine the island nation’s success and failure rather than the individual triumphs or losses, according to a media report on Wednesday.

Last month, Sri Lanka’s Elections Commission said the presidential election would be conducted between September 17 and October 16.

Addressing a policy reform discussion on Tuesday, Wickremesinghe, 75, said, “The outcome of the upcoming election is not solely about my personal victory or defeat; it will determine whether the country succeeds or fails.”
