4 interesting points from the election results:


1. The UPFA lost vote share in every district. The only district where they lost less than 10% was in Hambantota. In 11 of 22 districts they lost over 20%. 
 


2. The UNP had their 2nd largest gains (24%) in Polonnaruwa - the bastion of President Maithripala Sirisena.
 


3. The DP & JVP witnessed their greatest aggregate loss in support in the Colombo District (-5% from DNA 2010), despite having both their party leaders contesting Colombo district.
 


4. ITAK saw increases in vote share across all 5 districts they contested. 3 districts - Jaffna, Vanni and Batticaloa - saw over 15% increases in each.
