The main idea that animated the Sri Lankan voter has been Srisenas promise of “regime change for good governance.” It is amazing that a concept which is a part of the neo-liberal political discourse has been appropriated in the vernacular, democratic political imagination for the revival of democratic politics. Mr. Sirisena’s election campaign stressed democratic and corruption-free governance, the end to family rule and cronyism, and reviving the autonomy of key institutions of governance, specifically the legislature and the judiciary. This is a kind of home-grown democratic reform agenda evolved primarily against the five years of Mr. Rajapaksa’s semi-authoritarian and family-centric style of governance.
