The former president Mahinda Rajapaksa called for a snap presidential election two years prior to his  stipulated period.This was because he knew that taking the country forward for two more years was not possible as all funds had been spent. He knew that he would not win easily if the elections were held in two years time.But some were of the view that he had not obeyed  to the instructions of his reputed astrologers after he succumbed to defeat.
