Anura Kumara Dissanayake, a Marxist-leaning lawmaker, is set to become the next President of Sri Lanka after winning a landslide victory in the recent presidential election. Dissanayake, known for his strong stance against corruption and his commitment to change, garnered significant support, defeating incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe and main opposition leader Sajith Premadasa. His victory marks a significant shift in Sri Lankan politics, potentially leading to a more interventionist and closed-market economic approach.
