Sirisena had called the elections early after
loyalists of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, also from the SLFP, had
blocked some of his reforms to make government more accountable and
simplify Sri Lanka's complex election rules.
Rajapaksa, still revered by many for ending a 26-year Tamil insurgency in 2009, headed the SLFP-led opposition alliance in Monday's election. But days before the elections, Sirisena purged Rajapaksa's allies from the SLFP, consolidating his power in the party.http://post.jagran.com/sirisenas-party-offers-to-form-coalition-government-in-sri-lanka-1440072171
