With around 90% of the vote in

SLPP-SLFP-EPDP      60.1%
SJB                         23.8%
JJP                           3.9% (JVP led alliance)
ITAK                        2.9% (TNA - Tamil)
UNP                         2.1%

All outstanding votes are in rural Sinhalese so SLPFA will be above 60% for sure but only barely.  The urban and Muslim anti-Rajapaksa vote mostly come out.

With around 95% of the vote in

                            Vote share                                      Seats
SLPP-SLFP-EPDP      60.2%                                            79
SJB                         23.9%                                           27
JJP                           3.9% (JVP led alliance)
ITAK                        2.8% (TNA - Tamil)                         1
UNP                         2.2%

107 out of 196 district seats allocated already.  UNP and JVP underperforming is shifting seats to both SLPP and SJB which should help produce a  SLPFA 2/3 majority.

All votes counted (but not all seats allocated yet)

                         Vote share              District seats
SLPFA                  60.19%                      119
  SLPP                    59.09%                      118
  SLFP                      0.57%                         0
  EDBP                     0.53%                         1 (Tamil party)
SJB                      23.90%                      24
JJP                         3.84%                       2
ITAK                      2.82%                       4
UNP                       2.15%                       0
AITC                      0.58%                       1   (Tamil party)
TMVP                     0.58%                       0   (Tamil party)

150 out of 196 district seats allocated.   SLPFA won 79% of the district seats so far.  The remaining seats to be allocated have a Tamil lean so this percentage will go down.

All district seats allocated

                         Vote share              District seats
SLPFA                  60.19%                      131
  SLPP                    59.09%                      128
  SLFP                      0.57%                         1
  EDBP                     0.53%                         2 (Tamil party)
SJB                      23.90%                      47
JJP                         3.84%                       2
ITAK                      2.82%                       9
UNP                       2.15%                       0
AITC                      0.58%                       1   (Tamil party)
OPPP                     0.58%                        0
TMVP                     0.58%                       1   (Tamil party)
MNA                      0.48%                        1   (Muslim party)
TMTK                    0.44%                         1  (Tamil party)
ACMC                    0.39%                        1  (Muslim party)
NC                        0.34%                        1  (Muslim party)
SLMC                    0.30%                        1  (Muslim party)

SLPFA gets 131 out of 196 district seat or 66.8%.  Given the remaining 29 seats are allocated by PR it seems SLPFA might barely miss out on 2/3 majority although a couple of the minor parties can most likely be bought to support SLPFA to get to a 2/3 majority.

UPFA alliance won 127 district seats in 2010 so SLPFA exceeded 2010 UPFA by 4 seats

Assuming the national PR list goes SLPP 19 SJB 7 JJP 1 ITAK 1 UNP 1. Seat allocation will be

                  District       PR           Total
SLPFA            131          19          150
  SLPP              128         19           147
  SLFP                  1                           1
  EDBP                 2                           2
SJB                 47            7           54
JJP                   2             1             3
ITAK                9             1            10
UNP                 0             1             1
AITC                1             0             1
TMVP               1             0             1
MNA                1             0             1
TMTK               1             0             1
ACMC               1             0             1
NC                   1             0             1
SLMC               1             0             1
-----------------------------------------------------
Total             196           29          225

Which gives SLPFA alliance exactly 2/3 of the seats.

For some reason the national list allocation became

SLPP    17
SJB       7
JJB        1
ITAK      1
UNP       1
OPPP     1  
AITC      1

Not sure why OPPP and AITC were allocated seats despite a tiny vote share.  

So the seat allocation are now

                  District       PR           Total
SLPFA            131          17          148
  SLPP              128         17           145
  SLFP                  1                           1
  EDBP                 2                           2
SJB                 47            7           54
JJP                   2             1             3
ITAK                9             1            10  (Tamil party)
UNP                 0             1             1
AITC                1             1             2  (Tamil party)
OPPP               0              1            1  (BBS - Sinhalese Buddhist nationalist)
TMVP               1             0             1 (Tamil party)
MNA                1             0             1 (Muslim party)
TMTK               1             0             1 (Tamil party)
ACMC               1             0             1 (Muslim party)
NC                   1             0             1 (Muslim party)
SLMC               1             0             1 (Muslim party)
-----------------------------------------------------
Total             196           29          225

Which puts SLPFA alliance 2 seats short of 150 majority.  It is almost certain that if necessary SLPFA can buy up 2-3 more micro parties to get them to 2/3 majority.  Main issue here is what o do with the 2/3 majority.  Constitutional changes will shift power between the Prez and PM and might lead to a sibling rivalry between Prez Gotabaya Rajapaksa and PM and ex-Prez Mahinda Rajapaksa.  Gotabaya Rajapaksa will want to reverse some of the 2015 Constitutional changes that weakened the Perz powers relative to the PM but Rajapaksa clan leader and PM will be unlikely to go for that when Mahinda Rajapaksa will be focused on promoting his own son Namal Rajapaksa to become the next leader of the clan.
