A supporter of Sri Lankan Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa waves a national flag outside Rajapaksa's residence in Tangalle, Sri Lanka, Friday, August 7, 2020. The country's powerful Rajapaksa brothers secured a landslide victory in the parliamentary election, giving them nearly the two-thirds majority of seats required to make constitutional changes, according to results released Friday. Rajapaksa is likely to be sworn in the same position by his younger brother, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, after the vote that could strengthen dynastic rule in the Indian Ocean island nation.
