Sri Lanka: Tamils voting in large numbers could tilt the balance, Hindustan Times (2010)

This article points out the importance of the Tamil vote in the upcoming presidential elections, where the two presidential candidates are expected to split the majority Sinhalese population vote right through the middle and what may then decide is the 12-13% Tamil community in the 14 million electorate. The Tamil parties seem to be divided though with the Tamil National Alliance and Democratic People's Front supporting Fonseka while Eelam People's Democratic Party and the People's Liberation Organisation for Tamil Eelam supporting Rajapaksa.
