💨 Abstract

Sri Lanka held its presidential election on September 21, 2023, marking the country's first major electoral exercise since its severe economic crisis in 2022. Incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe, 75, is seeking re-election as an Independent candidate, backed by his successful efforts to pull the country out of the crisis, which many experts consider one of the quickest recoveries in the world.
