The polls have closed in Sri Lanka's general election, in which former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is hoping to return to office as prime minister.
Mr Rajapaksa suffered a shock defeat in snap presidential elections in January, losing out to his former health minister, Maithripala Sirisena.
Turnout has been high in a vote widely seen as a referendum on the controversial former leader.
