On Tuesday, Jan. 26, Sri Lankan citizens voted for their 6th Executive President in what was arguably the most heated and significant presidential election in Sri Lanka's post-colonial history. In this time of so-called peace, Lanka Solidarity calls on President Rajapakse to rise above the exclusionary politics of nationalism and elitism and focus on a political solution that addresses the potential power-sharing rights of all communities. It is only with such vision that Sri Lanka can truly enter a post-war era of reconciliation and democratization.
