Sri Lanka to hold presidential election between September 17 and October 16: Election Commission

The Hindu  

Sri Lanka will hold presidential election between September 17 and October 16, the country's top electoral body announced on Thursday. President Ranil Wickremesinghe is expected to contest the presidential election under a new symbol, his top aide said last month. Mr. Wickremesinghe, 75, will represent several parties as a national candidate, Senior Presidential Advisor and UNP senior leader Ashu Marasinghe said last month. Former president Maithripala Sirisena, the chairman of Sri Lanka Freedom Party, recently said that Rajapakshe, 65, would be his party's candidate in the presidential election.
