Anura Kumara Dissanayake Wins Sri Lanka's Presidential Election; Know More About Him | News9

Marxist lawmaker Anura Kumara Dissanayake has won the presidential election in Sri Lanka, marking a significant moment in the country's political landscape. Declared the winner by the election commission after the second round of counting, Dissanayake is set to take the oath of office today. This election was historic, as it was the first time Sri Lanka required a second round due to no candidate securing over 50% of the votes. In the initial count, Dissanayake received 39.52% of the votes, followed by opposition leader Sajith Premadasa at 34.28%. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Dissanayake, emphasizing the importance of Sri Lanka in India's "Neighbourhood First Policy." This election serves as a referendum on the leadership of former President Wickremesinghe amidst ongoing economic challenges following the crisis of 2022.
