evidence: Social Media Posts say President Ranil Wickremesinghe will contest the upcoming presidential election under the "Heart" symbol. [...] Context: Following the Election Commission's gazette notification on July 26, 2024, setting September 21 as the date for the presidential election in Sri Lanka, there has been a surge of social media posts claiming that President Ranil Wickremesinghe will contest the election under the "Heart" symbol. This claim has gained significant traction, raising questions and confusion among the public. [...] The claim that President Ranil Wickremesinghe will contest the upcoming presidential election under the "Heart" symbol is false. There is no evidence from the Election Commission's official gazette notification or previous elections to support this claim, and the Election Commission has confirmed that symbols are only assigned after the nomination process on August 15. This claim appears to be a rumour circulating on social media without any factual basis.
