Sri Lanka opposition cries foul, Aljazeera (2010)

The presidential elections in Sri Lanka were won by the incumbent President Rajapaksa who received 57.8% of the 10.4 million votes cast. His opponent, General Fonseka received 40.2% of the votes, but rejected them and announced that he will challenge them in court. Fonseka accused Rajapaksa of using the state media and public funds to attack him and preventing the Tamil minority from voting. The electoral commissioner, who has resigned appears to agree with some of the allegations, noting that "the state media violated his guidelines and government institutions misbehaved."
