Sri Lanka’s parliamentary elections resulted in a significant victory for President Dissanayake’s National Power of the People party, projected to win 123 out of 225 seats. This outcome reinforces Dissanayake’s mandate, following his election as president in September on a reformist agenda targeting corruption. Notably, the party gained substantial support from the Tamil community, marking a shift in voting patterns. Dissanayake aims to combat poverty and stimulate economic growth through reforms in various sectors including industry and agriculture, viewing this electoral success as a fresh start for the nation.
