Landslide win for Sri Lanka’s left-leaning coalition in snap general elections | BBC News


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.

Dissanayake needed a clear majority to deliver on his promise to combat corruption and restore stability after the island’s worst-ever economic crisis.
