Sri Lanka's upcoming presidential election on September 21, 2023, has attracted a record number of 39 candidates, a reflection of the ongoing economic crisis in the country.
As we navigate this economic turmoil, Wickremesinghe highlights the progress, stating, 'What we are saying is, Let's go ahead and finish this job'. His administration aims to solidify development plans by 2048.
Despite some economic indicators showing improvement—such as inflation falling to 5% from a staggering 70%—high taxes and the persistent cost of living challenges continue to plague ordinary citizens.
The election serves as a crucial referendum on Wickremesinghe's economic reforms amidst a tumultuous backdrop of protests and dissatisfaction following the resignation of former President Rajapaksa.
