Sri Lankan president's party heads for landslide win
Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's National People's Power (NPP) coalition is leading in snap legislative elections, securing 63% of the vote with over half of the ballots counted. Dissanayake, who took office in September, aims to combat corruption and revitalize the economy after a severe crisis.

The election saw a voter turnout of under 70%, with no reported violence during voting. Dissanayake's administration is expected to continue the existing IMF bailout agreement, with support from the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce for ongoing reforms to boost investor confidence.
