Landslide win for new Sri Lankan president's left-leaning coalition
The left-leaning alliance of Sri Lanka's new leader has secured a landslide victory in the country's snap parliamentary elections.
Official results show President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's National People's Power (NPP) coalition scored a two-thirds majority in parliament, with 159 seats.
President Dissanayake’s coalition got nearly 62% of the vote, winning even in the Tamil-dominated Jaffna Peninsula for the first time since independence from Britain in 1948.
...
The landslide mandate will also allow him to push through economic and constitutional changes he had promised during the campaign.
