"We see this as a critical turning point for Sri Lanka. We expect a mandate to form a strong parliament, and we are confident the people will give us this mandate," Dissanayake said after casting his vote on Thursday.
"There is a change in Sri Lanka's political culture that started in September, which must continue." Dissanayake emphasizes the ongoing shift in political dynamics following his presidential victory.
Anura Kumara Dissanayake's coalition, the National People's Power (NPP), secured at least 123 seats in the 225-member assembly, highlighting a significant shift in parliamentary power.
The election saw over 17 million eligible voters participating, with a record 690 political parties and independent groups contesting, reflecting a vibrant electoral landscape.
