President Dissanayake's NPP Wins Two-Thirds Majority in Sri Lankan Parliament
Nov 15, 2024, 12:30 AM
According to the tweets provided, Sri Lanka conducted snap parliamentary elections on November 14, 2024, with over 17 million voters eligible to elect 225 members from among 8,800 candidates across 22 electoral districts. The election is significant for Anura Kumara Dissanayake, referred to as the new leftist or Marxist-leaning President and leader of the National People's Power (NPP) party, who seeks to secure a parliamentary majority to implement his anti-poverty and economic recovery policies. Early results indicate that the NPP is heading for a landslide victory, securing a two-thirds majority by winning 141 seats with over 62% of the vote. This strong mandate is expected to empower President Dissanayake to pursue his ambitious pledges to combat corruption and rewrite an unpopular International Monetary Fund loan program, as Sri Lanka recovers from its worst financial crisis.
