Sri Lanka president wins re-election - state TV, BBC News (2010)

According to the state TV, President Rajapaksa has won the presidential election. With 85% of votes counted, Rajapaksa received 4.99 million votes, while his rival, general Fonseka only 3.39 million votes. The voter turnout was relatively high, with approximately 70% of voters coming to the polls. Although the election was largely peaceful, the Tamil populated north has experienced several explosions, but also grenade attacks before and just after voting began. General Fonseka also was not able to vote, as his name had not been put on the voter register.
