Demonstrators in Colombo, Sri Lanka burned an effigy of acting president Ranil Wickremesinghe as his main opponent, opposition leader Sajith Premadasa, dropped out of the race and instead backed a low-profile politician from the ruling party.
"We made this sacrifice for the ordinary people. Personal political victories must turn into victories for the country,” Premadasa said.
Six-time prime minister Wickremesinghe took over as acting president after an uprising forced former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country.
Sri Lanka is gripped by a devastating economic crisis and frustrated protesters have been angered by rocketing prices, as well as shortages of food and fuel.
