战后形成的局面对政府十分有利,总统拉贾帕克萨和政府的支持率大大提高。但与此同时,战争遗留下来的难民问题和经济问题也很严重,政府要顺利地推进和平进程还需要克服许多困难。由于执政的统一人民自由联盟在议会中仅占有1票多数,政府在推行自己政策的过程中往往会受到反对党的牵制。为了改变这种局面,扩大政治优势,总统拉贾帕克萨决定利用当前选民对自己的支持,提前举行总统和议会选举,以达到组建优势政府的目的。
<<The defeat of Tamil Tigers Organization doesn’t change the fact that the Sri Lankan government is still challenged by complex political situations.
