Mr Dissanayake secured victory over opposition leader Sajith Premadasa and incumbent liberal president Ranil Wickremesinghe, who took over the country two years ago after its economy hit rock bottom. Mr Dissanayake received 5,740,179 votes, followed by Mr Premadasa with 4,530,902, Election Commission data showed.
âThis achievement is not the result of any single personâs work, but the collective effort of hundreds of thousands of you. Your commitment has brought us this far, and for that, I am deeply grateful. This victory belongs to all of us,â Mr Dissanayake said in a post on X/Twitter.
Mr Dissanayake leads National Peopleâs Power, a left-wing coalition of civil society groups, professionals, students and Buddhist clergy. The election, held on Saturday, came amid the worst economic crisis in the countryâs history and the resulting political upheaval. Contested by 38 candidates, it was largely a three-way race between Mr Dissanayake, Mr Wickremesinghe and Mr Premadasa.
