Sri Lanka’s newly elected President Anura Kumara Dissanayake promised to strengthen democracy and rebuild the nation, acknowledging that he is not a miracle-worker. He takes office amid a severe economic crisis, with high living costs and utility bills causing strain on poor families. Dissanayake won the election with a platform of anti-corruption and a promise to change the political culture. His victory marks a shift in Sri Lankan politics away from traditional parties. While he did not secure the majority vote among ethnic minority communities, he pledged to work hard to earn their trust. Dissanayake appointed secretaries to various ministers and is expected to appoint a new Cabinet soon.
