Various of people and traffic on street  \u003cbr/\u003ePrime Minister Mahinda Rajapakse, the soon-to-be-declared winner of Sri Lanka's tightly contested presidential election, said on Friday that he wants to hold face-to-face talks with the leader of the Tamil Tiger rebels to end more than two decades of civil war.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's a pledge that Rajapakse made throughout the campaign, but one that may be easier said than done.\u003cbr/\u003eRebel chief Velupillai Prabhakaran rarely sees anyone outside a tight inner circle and makes only a single public appearance a year on Heroes' Day - a Tiger holiday honouring rebels who have died fighting for a Tamil homeland in northeastern Sri Lanka.\u003cbr/\u003eStill, asked about his plans for Sri Lanka's stalled peace process, Rajapakse said: \"I am ready to talk to the (Tigers), and I am ready to meet\u003cbr/\u003ePrabhakaran.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHe spoke in an interview with The Associated Press after official, but not final, results indicated he had been elected president.\u003cbr/\u003eWith all ballots counted, Rajapakse - seen as a hard-liner toward Tamil Tiger rebels - received 4.88 million votes, or 50.29 percent of the total 9.7\u003cbr/\u003emillion valid votes cast, election officials said. \u003cbr/\u003eOpposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe received 4.70 million, or 48.38 percent, with the remainder of the votes cast for the other 11 candidates.\u003cbr/\u003eA formal announcement of the results was scheduled for later on Friday. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Tigers took up arms in 1983 over discrimination against Tamils, most of whom are Hindu, by the predominantly Buddhist Sinhalese majority. \u003cbr/\u003eNearly 65-thousand people have been killed in the conflict.\u003cbr/\u003eA 2002 Norwegian-brokered ceasefire ended major fighting, but peace talks stalled in disagreement over the Tigers' demands for broad autonomy, and clashes - especially between the Tigers and a breakaway faction - have intensified.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Prime Minister's Office appealed to the Sri Lankan people \"to behave peacefully and celebrate the victory without harming opponents.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
