 Sri Lanka is voting in a second national election in as many months with a deeply divided opposition struggling to recover from a crushing defeat at presidential polls. The snap parliamentary election was called by the new President Anura Kumara Diss-a-naike -- the South Asian island's first leftist leader -- after he won polls on a promise to combat graft and recover the country's stolen assets. Dissanayake's party is widely tipped to sweep Thursday's parliamentary vote with analysts saying the opposition is in disarray. Dissanayake, an outsider of the family parties that have dominated Sri Lankan politics for decades, swept to power promising change as the country emerges from a crushing financial crisis. Millions of voters put faith in his graft-fighting pledge and vow to bolster a fragile economic recovery.
