Voting is underway in Sri Lanka’s general election which is being widely seen as a test of <br />a comeback bid by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa.<br /><br /> After losing his job in a snap poll last January, Rajapksa is hoping to return to office as prime minister.<br /><br /> Although not favourite to win , the 69 -year-old war hero who crushed a 26-year long Tamil uprising in 2009 might just slip back into power.<br /><br /> He could do that together with his at his Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) if his rival fails to win a majority.<br /><br /> However pundits say the incumbent Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and his United National Party (UNP) have the best chance of forming the largest bloc in the 225-seat parliament.<br /><br /> Fifteen million people have the right to vote after what observers say has been an unusually clean campaign.
