💨 Abstract

Sri Lanka's new President Anura Kumara Dissanayake called for a snap general election on Nov. 14, aiming to consolidate power and push his pro-poor policies. The Marxist leader, who won 42.3% of votes in the recent presidential election, seeks to strengthen his hand in parliament, where his coalition currently holds only three seats.
