Just analyzing...

I was going through some archived data and present data of the presidential elections of Sri Lanka thanks to one of the pleasant chats I had with a dearest friend of mine. What I came up with was really interesting, and I had a long thought about it. Found it interesting enough to share it with you.

Let me summarise it for you.

In 2005 there were 9,717,039 valid votes.
Out of which;

1. Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha got 4,887,152
2. Mr. Ranil Wickramasinghe got 4,706,366
   where JVP was with MR and TNA was not in the scene.

In 2010 there were 10,495,451 valid votes
Out of which;

1. Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha got 6,015,934
2. Gen. (Rtd) Sarath Fonseka got 4,173,185
   where JVP and TNA were with SF.
   
   What does this mean?
