President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has dissolved the government and called for snap elections, aiming to consolidate power and enact promised reforms post-2022 economic crisis.
The general election is set for November 14, with a new parliament meeting on November 21, as part of Dissanayake's strategy to secure a parliamentary majority.
Harini Amarasuriya is now Sri Lanka's first female prime minister in 24 years, indicating a significant shift in the political landscape of the country.
Dissanayake's victory signifies public support for reform policies introduced by the previous government aimed at stabilizing the economy after recent economic turmoil.
