Sri Lanka's highest court has found no impediment to Rajapaksa seeking an unprecedented third term in office, Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva announced Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2014. The country's constitution was changed in 2010 to scrap a two-term limit, but some legal experts have argued that Rajapaksa can't contest another election because he was elected for his second term under the old rule.
