Leftist alliance leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake will be Sri Lanka's new president, after he won an historic election that came two years after the peak of the country's unprecedented economic crisis.
For the first time in the country's history, a second round of vote counting looking at preferences was needed to determine the winner, because no candidate won the required 50 per cent in the first round.
The second round was a run-off between Mr Dissanayake and opposition leader Sajith Premadasa.
Incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe trailed in third.
