  • The Rajapakse 'Coup' and Upcoming Parliamentary Election in Sri Lanka
    IDSA Issue Brief IDSA ISSUE BRIEF1 The Rajapakse ‘Coup’ and Upcoming Parliamentary Election in Sri Lanka Smruti S Pattanaik Dr Smruti S Pattanaik is Research Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. July 28, 2015 Summary The 8 January election was a decisive anti-Rajapakse vote in spite of Rajapakse's claim to the contrary. Notwithstanding that, as Sri Lanka prepares for parliamentary elections in August, two fundamental issues are at stake: democratisation of the political system, which regressed during Rajapakse's rule, and national reconciliation. Rajapakse's victory in the forthcoming elections would not only be a reversal of the January 8 mandate but his divisive politics based on Sinhala chauvinism will not be conducive for national reconciliation - a prerequisite for long term peace and stability of the country. A UNP victory is predicted given the dissension within the SLFP and voter uncertainty about a Rajapakse return. Unlike the Presidential election, local politics and local issues would influence the voters. People have not forgotten the Rajapakse decade, which epitomised corruption with his family directly controlling Rs. 1.2 billion of the Rs. 1.7 billion national budget. His development model has few takers in the rural south. It has not generated the employment that they were looking for as many of the projects have become economically unviable. People are aware of the massive corruption in which both the Rajapakse family and his close allies were involved. Given his past policies, the SLFP is also unlikely to get the votes of the minorities.
