“A light at the end of the tunnel”

In the presidential election held on the 21st, National People’s Power candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake received a historic winning percentage of votes in areas where Tamil and Muslim people are the majority.
In comparison to the 2019 presidential election, no more than 1% of votes were received, but this time, exceptional growth has been achieved. Anura Dissanayake obtained 2,304 votes in Batticaloa district in 2019, which was 0.76%. This time, he received 77,664 votes, which is 12.19%.
In 2019, he received 156 votes from the Wanni district, which was 0.54%. This time, he received 42,824 votes, which is 9.86%. In Jaffna District, he received 1,375 votes in 2019, which was 0.37%. This time, the number of votes he received was 54,172, which is 7.29%.
Also, 2,256 votes were obtained for the Nuwara Eliya Maskeliya Constituency in Nuwara Eliya District in 2019, which was 0.86%. 38,416 votes were received this time, which is 14.76%. Thus, it has been confirmed that the Tamil and Muslim people are radically gathering around the National People’s Power.
Before the election campaigns, an ideological campaign was carried out among the people of these areas, discussing topics such as national unity and equality. During the presidential election campaigns, Anura Kumara Dissanayake stated that he had not come to deal with the Tamil and Muslim people. Instead, it was emphasized that he and his team had come to invite all Sinhalese, Tamils ​​, and Muslims to join together and build the country.
Also, in the Nuwara Eliya Maskeliya Constituency, where the plantations community is centred, the 2,256 votes obtained in 2109 have been increased to 38,416, this time responding radically.
