Anura Kumara Dissanayake, en marxistisk lovgiver, er blevet taget i ed som Sri Lankas nye præsident efter et historisk valg, hvor vælgerne afviste det traditionelle politiske etablissement. Dissanayake, der leder National People's Power (NPP) alliance, har lovet at 'omskrive historien' og implementere venstreorienterede økonomiske politikker for at tackle landets alvorlige økonomiske udfordringer. Hans sejr afspejler en udbredt utilfredshed med den tidligere regering, som mange bebrejder for nationens økonomiske kollaps. Den nye præsidents platform inkluderer stærk statslig indgriben og reformer med henblik på at reducere ulighed og forbedre levevilkårene for befolkningen.
