💨 Abstract

Sri Lankans are voting in a snap election to determine if their new leftist president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, will gain more power to help the country recover from a financial crisis and aid the poor. The election is crucial for Dissanayake's National People's Power (NPP) coalition as it seeks a parliamentary majority to implement promised reforms and secure an IMF package.
