New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi (PM Narendra Modi) on Thursday spoke to Sri Lanka’s PM Mahinda Rajapaksa and congratulated him for the successful conduct of parliamentary elections yesterday. The Sri Lankan People’s Party (SLPP), controlled by the influential Rajapaksa family of Sri Lanka, is headed for a landslide victory in the parliamentary election, according to the preliminary results announced on Thursday. The Foreign Ministry said that PM Modi today spoke to Sri Lankan PM Mahinda Rajapaksa and congratulated him for the successful conduct of parliamentary elections yesterday.

The nearest rival of the Sri Lanka People’s Party is a new party founded by Sajith Premadasa. Premadasa has separated from its parent party United National Party (UNP) and formed a new party. According to the election results, the UNP is in fourth place. Official results show that the Marxist Janata Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has also performed better than the UNP. In the Tamil-dominated north region, the main Tamil party has won in one region in Jaffna while Rajapaksa’s ally Eelam Peoples Democratic Party (EPDP) has defeated the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in another region of Jaffna district.
