Sri Lankans voting in election which could cement power of Rajapaksa brothers

Sri Lanka Election

Sri Lankans were voting on Wednesday to elect a new parliament that is expected to give strong support to the powerful and popular Rajapaksa brothers.

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was elected last November after projecting himself as the only leader who could secure the country after the Islamic State-inspired bombings of churches and hotels on Easter Sunday that killed 269 people.
