"The economy is still fragile. The dollar-earning capacity remains weak, and the new president will face significant challenges in rebuilding it..." said economist M. Ganeshamoorthy from Colombo University.
Colombo resident Priyadarshini Guhan stated, "We need hope. We don't need someone who will cheat us again," reflecting the citizens' desire for trustworthy leadership.
Nearly 17 million out of Sri Lanka's population of 22 million are eligible to vote this Saturday. With 40 candidates, the stakes are high for the new president.
Ganeshamoorthy emphasized the election's significance, saying, "This election is pivotal for Sri Lanka as it represents a turning point following the economic and political crises."
