💨 Abstract

Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's coalition, the National People's Power, is on track to win a majority in the general election, according to results from the Election Commission. Dissanayake, a Marxist-leaning political outsider, seeks a mandate for his policies aimed at alleviating poverty and corruption. The election follows a severe financial crisis that pushed Sri Lanka into a sovereign default.
