Final district results at the 2019 Presidential election show New Democratic Front Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa dominating Tamil areas in the country.

Final District results in Jaffna showed that Premadasa had secured 312, 722 votes which was 83.83 percent of the votes in the area while Rajapaksa got just 23, 261 votes or 6.24 percent of the votes.
