#LandslideWin for Sri Lanka’s #LeftistCoalition in snap general #elections.

Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s leftist coalition has achieved a landslide victory in snap parliamentary elections, delivering the self-described #Marxist leader a powerful mandate to fight poverty and corruption in the crisis-stricken nation.

The Election Commission of #SriLanka said on Friday that Dissanayake’s National People’s Power #NPP coalition secured a two-thirds majority in parliament, winning 159 of 225 seats, a huge lead on opposition alliance Samagi Jana Balawegaya #SJB which won 40 seats.
