Anura Kumara Dissanayake has taken office as Sri Lanka's 10th president, with a clear mandate to steer the country towards recovery from a dire economic crisis that led to significant political upheaval.
The recent election was crucial for Sri Lanka, with voters decisively rejecting the previous administration blamed for mismanagement and economic distress, thus empowering a new leadership direction.
Dissanayake's coalition, rooted in Marxist principles, brings together varying sectors of society, including academics and civil movements, aiming to address the nation’s pressing challenges.
As the leader of the National People's Power coalition, Dissanayake garnered substantial support, securing over 5.7 million votes in a competitive election against 36 candidates.
