ITAK leader S. Sritharan’s agreement to meet the IMF is an indication that incumbent Ranil Wickremesinghe stands to gain Tamil votes at a future presidential election, claims a political analyst.
This is especially so in view of forecasts that none of the candidates will be able to poll 50 per cent of votes, said Vipula Karunatilake.
According to him, both the SJB and the NPP have failed to gain trust from the three million decisive votes, which could most likely favour Wickremesinghe.
Karunatilake and Samabima Party leader Deepthi Kumara Gunaratne take a look at how Tamil votes will decide the outcome.
