This time it is going to be a hard fight between GR & SP and T & M will decide who will be the president. By looking at the crowd gathering at the political rally we can’t decide who will win.


Now a days younger generation voters are more educated and they will evaluate the candidate prior to cast their votes

T & M votes are split. Estate sector majority is for GR.
'God Father' should analyse the last LG/PS election outcome in the first place.

SP wants to be a white swan surrounded by black swans whose dossiers are highly questionable.

Predicting the 2019 Sri Lankan Presidential Election
The term bellewether referred to the ancient English practice of placing a metallic bell around the neck of a castrated ram (known as a wether) that led a flock of sheep. A shepherd could identify the flock movements by the tinkling of the bell. Even when the flock out of sight.
In modern usage, the term bellwether refers to an entity or individual that indicates trends in a larger system or collective.
For example, whichever candidate won the state of Ohio has won the presidency in all but two of 58 US Presidential Elections. Hence, states like Ohio, Florida (also two misses), Nevada, Missouri, New Mexico, and Tennessee (all with three misses) are known as “Bellwether states”.


OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*KaceZ69RE1dNi1YTipBMgw
US Presidential Election Bellwether States (Source: https://www.prb.org/electiondemographics/)
I was curious if Sri Lanka’s Presidential Election had any Bellwether trends. For example, were there any polling divisions which always backed the winning candidate?
[size=34]Perfect Bellwethers[/size]
Sri Lanka did indeed have eight bellwether polling divisions: Moratuwa and Ratmalana (Colombo Electoral District), Ja-Ela and Katana (Gampaha Electoral District), Mawathagama (Kurunegala Electoral District), Medirigiriya, Minneriya and Polonnaruwa (Polonnaruwa Electoral District). Whichever candidate won these polling divisions, went on to win the presidency.
For example, these are the results for Moratuwa.
OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*p52QDxsZ23eRq6vpnZx5CAResults: Moratuwa Polling Divisios
I could see no discernible pattern in the distribution of bellwether polling divisions across the country:
OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*PrkfkPSgRXqpNtR6eJ5plw
Number of times each polling divisions backed the winning presidential candidate
[size=34]Percentage Bellwethers[/size]
We defined a perfect bellwether as a polling division which was always won by the winning candidate.What about the percentage of votes? Are there bellwethers that also match the winning percentage?
For each of the 160 polling divisions in Sri Lanka, I looked at the absolute error between the percentage of votes a winning candidate won island-wide, and the percentage of votes that winning candidate won in the polling division.
The polling division with the lowest error was Moratuwa. The percentage of votes a winning candidate received island-wide differed by an average of 1.2% in Moratuwa.
OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*3m_f5znhM6Qp7PXHBPsKXA
Results: Moratuwa Polling Division
Interestingly, the polling division with the second-lowest error (1.6%), Yatinuwara, in the Kandy Electoral District, is not a Perfect Bellwether, backing the losing candidate in 1988. However, its percentages have matched the island-wide result almost precisely in the last two presidential elections.

OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*ujue1izZP--mBsaCI3PnZw
Results: Yatinuwara Polling Division
The top percentage bellwethers are as follows:

Top super bellwethers, with average absolute difference from islandwide winner’s vote percentage
[size=34]Bellwether Electoral Districts[/size]
We defined and analyzed “bellwether-ness” at a polling division level. What about at the electoral district level? Have any of the 22 electoral district consistently managed to pick the winner?
Observent readers would have noticed that all three polling divisions in the Polonnaruwa electoral district were bellwethers. Hence, the Polonnaruwa electoral district as a whole is itself a bellwether.
No other electoral district has backed the winner in all seven presidential elections, though Colombo, Gampaha, Kurunegala, Puttalam, Kandy, Kegalle, Ratnapura, Monaragala and Hambantota have backed six.
OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*fUHKItpKwHROw3RffrRciw
Bellwether Electoral Districts
Interestingly, the best percentage bellwether electoral district (i.e. that which matches the winning presidential candidate’s islandwide percentage vote best) is not Polonnaruwa, but Puttalam. In fact, Polonnaruwa is only ninth best.

[size=34]Bellwether Fallacies[/size]

“Perfect Bellwethers will always be Perfect Bellwethers.”

Suppose you are watching the results as they come in, after the November 16th election. Let’s suppose you notice that candidate Sajith Premadasa (say) wins the Moratuwa polling division.
Can you conclude that the UNP candidate has won the election?
You cannot. The “perfectness” of a bellwether polling division is how well it matches the results of the country as a whole. Bellwether polling divisions support political parties in the same proportions that the country as a whole supports these parties. This support can change, and the polling division could diverge from the country.
In the very first presidential election (1982), the UNP candidate J. R. Jayawardena won 137 out of 160 polling divisions. Hence, after this first election, 137 polling divisions were (trivially) “perfect’ bellwethers. Given the UNPs big victory, many electorates that might have voted for its opponents, ended-up voting for the UNP. Hence, the high number of bellwether polling divisions. Also, with a single election, we have only one sample. Thus, the statistical significance of our bellwether statistic is low.
In subsequent elections, the Bellwether count drops, while the significance of the metric increases:

OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*CFiZ1xeg58Czeu0DxdAzZw
The number of perfect bellwether polling divisions, after each election
On the eve of the 2015 election, there were 44 perfect bellwether polling divisions. Avissawella was one such polling divisions that had backed the winner in all six presidential elections.
Suppose you were watching the results as they come in, after the 2015 election. Let’s suppose you noticed that candidate Mahinda Rajapaksa won the Avissawella polling division.
Could you conclude that the UPFA candidate had won the election? Not quite.
OPINION POLL: Presidential Elections 2020 - Page 7 1*3wymm1VSRZjENPCUodLZ5w
Results: Avissawella Polling Division
In 2015, Avissawella backed the losing candidate, lost its bellwether status, and Maitripala Sirisena ended-up winning the election.

“Candidates should try to win all the Perfect Bellwethers.”

Bellwethers are bellwethers because they correlate strongly with the voting behaviour of the country as a whole. However, there is no causal relationship between the result of the bellwether and that of the country.
Thus, trying to win a bellwether (for example, by campaigning more in such polling divisions), would not lead to more votes in the country as a whole. The candidate might win the bellwether, and lose the country, leading to the polling division losing its bellwether status (as Avissawella did).
On the other hand, bellwethers might be good places to learn about voter preferences and needs. They could act as “samples” for the country as a whole. But after such insights are gained, they must be applied to the whole country. Not just to the bellwether.

“Polonnaruwa is special.”

As we learnt, not only is the Polonnaruwa electoral district a bellwether, so are all three of its polling divisions. So is there something special about the ancient, former-capital of Sri Lanka? When it comes to presidential elections?
Probably not. And here’s why. We can divide our “history of presidential elections” into three groups:

  • 1982 and 1988: The Green Era. In this Era, much of the Sinhala majority heartland supported the UNP. Including Polonnaruwa. So it’s not surprising that Polonnaruwa voted for the UNP.
  • 1994, 1999, 2005, 2010: The Blue Era. Following Chandrika Kumaratunga’s 1994 victories in both general and presidential elections, the heartland turned Blue. Again, it’s not surprising that Polonnaruwa voted for the Blue Party.
  • 2015: The Polonnaruwa Era. In 2015, much of the Sinhala heartland remained Blue, voting for Mahinda Rajapaksa. One exception was Polonnaruwa, which supported their very own Maitripala Sirisena, who went on to win the election.

Hence, it is not surprising that Polonnaruwa supported the winning candidate in every election.
[size=34]So who is going to win?[/size]
As usual, I’m going to utter my favourite phrase: “I don’t know”.
I also don’t know what the voters in our current perfect bellwethers (i.e. Moratuwa, Ratmalana, Ja-Ela, Katana, Mawathagama, Medirigiriya, Minneriya and Polonnaruwa) are thinking. But maybe you do.
If you go to Ratmalana, talk to a bunch of Ratmalaneans and find out that they are all supporting candidate X, you could make one of three conclusions:

This is a straight forward and clear promise, they cant avoid it. They may increase it later, but have to reduce first. 

Since private sector is the heart of economy, it is good they promise VAT and income tax (Personnel) reductions. Then private sector will be more active and ultimately will bring more taxes than lost, when growth rates are higher. THAT IS SOMETHING MANGALA CANT UNDERSTAND.

Also it is good that GOTA is not making crazy promises like GOVT sector salary increases, which made 2015 UNP govt bankrupt and never recovered. If Private sector Turnover is increased by 100%, lost VAT can be recovered while if Profit is increased ( have to ) Income tax will be increased also. So increasing the economic activity through private sector is the only answer. So GOTA seem to know it, probbaly seen how US operates...

Two of the country’s most prominent political figures are expected to take to the presidential election political stage in a decisive manner over the next two weeks, it is reported.
These two political leaders who are currently overseas and are said to be monitoring the country’s presidential operations and they are said to be obtaining analysis reports and information through trusted persons.
They are also said to be guiding their friends on who they should support and these two prominent figures are expected to join the presidential operations actively during the final two weeks leading up to the polls.

TNA supporting Sajith was something which was expected and not a surprise at all. This time the minority votes are going to be split for sure and also going by the results of 2018 LG/PS election results with SLPP & SLFP uniting Gota's victory is assured. TNA's move is not a setback to Gota at all and this could only erode Sajith's vote bank for the following reason.

TNA had very clearly stated that it would support the candidate who is favourable to the 13 demands that it placed before the presidential aspirants. So, for them to support Sajith will be construed by all as an affirmation to the demands by Sajith's camp. Actually TNA has put Sajith in a precarious situation by openly expressing its support. Sajith may have to compromise a gold slab for a packet of peanuts and hence Gota's victory is confirmed.

Whether Tna support or not, minority will never vote for gota. So tna is pushed for the decision.

Does it affect today market despite approval of IMF of 160m $

Bad sign for Gota, voters like Mahinda. Also people gather at the rallies to see Mahinda and not to see Gota. Unfortunately Mahinda cannot contest as a presidential candidate.


So less vote base for Gota. Instead of Gota they could have use Basil as presidential candiate.. now it is too late.
