- Left-leaning politician Anura Kumara Dissanayake has won Sri Lanka’s presidential election after a historic second round of counting.
He heads the National People’s Power alliance, which includes Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, or People's Liberation Front - a party that has traditionally backed strong state intervention and lower taxes, and campaigned for leftist economic policies.
The election on Saturday was the first to be held since mass protests unseated the country's leader, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, in 2022 after Sri Lanka suffered its worst economic crisis.

I'm British I might come and join you now no point stopping in this mess now. Might even get my own tea plantation and drink some fresh tea. It's strange where the British empire used to be is places we go on holiday to now or to live to escape the crap here. Even the migrants and refugees want to go back home now😂😂😂
We argue over migrants and refugees coming to the UK today those that where a pleasure to have and been great living in the UK from the British commonwealth want to go home now 😂😂😂
Same..I'm waiting to go back from Finland 🇫🇮
I need to die in my homeland
Wow whats happend 😂

Thank you so much for your wish and love from Sri Lanka😇😊
Wish you guys the same as well ... Hope that everything going well there with new political situation at Bangladesh also😊😊
Wish you the same 🌿
Thank you!!!
This guy is the man - Zero corruptions !
Corruption Starts from today
Yeah, probably cause he wasn't given the opportunity. But now...let's see
Give it time
Yeah@malikazeez3743
Marxism and communism go hand in hand with corruption
The Only International Network who didn't call him a Marxist. Indian Media labelled him that & everyone jumped the gun.
Socialism is in a lot of politicians beliefs. Keir Starma identifies as a socialist
@@lin90210 He most certainly does not. Nor do his actions indicate he is one either.
@@lin90210erm Starmer kicked out all the socialist from the labour when he became leader 9f the party
These guys used to murder small businesses owners in cold blood in 1987-1989 period.
Exactly
All the best to wonderfull Sri Lanka from Poland! :*
Thank you! I am a Sri Lankan 😊
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you!
Thank you
After 76 years we have a people's president.
Congratulations Mr president
Amin ☦️
You mean, someone who hasn't held public office before. Everyone was people's president. All were elected fairly.
@@AinzWoolGown, Majority of the people in our country are poor, so they chose Anura. That's why he is considered a president of the people & he also comes from a poor family.
@@JayarathneAbeydeera🇱🇰🇱🇰
@@JayarathneAbeydeerabased on it, Mahinda Rajapaksha was also from a very poor family. Ranasinghe Premadasa was also from a poor family. Maithripala Sirisena was the son of a farmer in Polonnaruwa. Only Chandrika came with a family heritage.
So i don't know what you are on about
3% in 2019 to 42% in 2024
What an achievement ❤
Yes, indeed!!! 👏 ✌️
Power of propaganda..
Wish Sri Lanka all the best from Bangladesh may South Asia prosper again
Thank you!!!
And i wish you the same!!!
Sri Lanka has finally found a president who truly represents its people. Best wishes to President AKD! ❤
Politicians represent their interest only
AHH yes the group that committed some of the awful murders but who cares it the past innit

at least bbc didn't said he's marxist.
That's what concerns me if BBC talks good about the candidate they must not be good. At least not good for the people. It's like this you put the BBC reporter with a Hezbollah reporter in her Moss reporter and look at their infants and that's pretty much the same thing they will lie on anything to support their narrative.
Ow bn
agreed.
he's still a useless communist, in capitalist ruled world
But he’s tho
AKD is an honest leader who stands against corruption. He will be the best president we have ever had! ❤
@@PippigeLokaya Time will tell

Anura Kumara Dissanayake is very very honestly and people’s heart ed man . Congratulations mr president❤❤
So proud of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
I'm 40years old Sri Lankan. For the first time I showed my children who's our president is and I told them please try to become like our president .For the past 40 years we never had a president like him.
So your kids are going to marry their morher’s sister one day? 😂

He is the only man his Motto is One Country one Man.
this is the first time president has ever come from working class background. His mother was house wife and father worked as janitor. So however through hard work and commitment he has entered to university and has started politics. His mother didnt educate much even she cant write or read but her son has become president of the country. Beauty of free education and democracy 💥😍😍❤
Even president Premadasa (1988) is not coming from an affluential family. He is an illegitimate child born to a maid.
I am tamil i like mr honarabe president mr anura..we never ever give up our pride
You mean Sri Lankan pride right.
THANKS FOR NOT CALLING HIM MARXIST
But he is one.
@@realDunalTrimp no he is not....

He describes himself as a “Marxist”.

Best wishes to Sri Lanka from Bangladesh!
Bengali's and Sinhalese are related. Once I mistook a bengali muslim for a high caste sinhalese. How is the situation in your country? Personally I believe granny hasina was better.
@@rnrcreations-lanka3258 Yes we are related. Hasina capped the nation's freedom to speak and ignored corruption in the financial sector. Although now we have the freedom to express ourselves, we are currently in a financial crisis.
Yunus is currently seeking out loans to resolve this crisis.
As a Sri Lankan we feel and happy like our Family member became a president ❤ love u AKD ❤❤❤
My family is returning to Sri Lanka, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to AKD. Please help build a strong nation, as we truly do not wish to live abroad again. Being in another country has been a heartbreaking experience for us. No one likes to leave their mother country behind.We need a country free from corruption. I believe there’s no place like Sri Lanka to live-peaceful, with beautiful landscapes,cultural and wonderful people.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please dont come you cowards!
The most peaceful election seen in the world, like back in the day! He is a Math degree holder and that tells his intellect and with uprightness have the criteria for good leadership ! Hoping for a new era in politics with people first in mind!
The most important point has not been emphasized here. In 2019, this individual secured only 3% of the vote in the presidential elections, but this time, 42% of the population has elected him. People have high hopes for his promises to combat corruption, particularly targeting former parliament members and prominent political families.
Ah yes, revenge politics. Sure to work.
I hear only positive things being said about him, he must offer alot of hope for the people of sri lanka
Thank you BBC for not labelling him as a Marxist.
The BBC does call him a Marxist on their website, and so does the CBC and AP News. All of these are very left leaning. Well, the BBC calls him a "former marxist". Everyone at least calls him a leftist, which is a form of extremism. Sorry Sri Lanka, how do you just screwed up in a way that so many have before. how do you just screwed up in a way that so many have before. He had a crisis and then elected an extremist. That will not end well. You had a crisis and then elected an extremist. That will not end well.
This is not a victory only of Anura. It's a victory of people those who like anti-curruption, anti- Violence, anti-polical thuggery. This is the victory of Sri Lanka. All the best new president 🇱🇰❤️🎉
From 3 % to 43% what a achievement 👏
Congratulations to his excellency Anura K Dissanayaka! May you be blessed.. from Sri Lankans in Australia
In sri lanka elections are usually peaceful.. Plzz DO NOT spread misleading statements.
What no rioting looting hacking or burning
@@chucky2316Western media has to do the disinformation, it is their strategy.
@@chucky2316 no. not even very loud firecrackers 😎
No Violence in Sri Lanka.. I'm not going to argue with anyone.. I just invite you to visit our country.. You can see how friendly our people are..
Some foreign news channels always spreading misinformation about our country.. They often spread Sri Lankans are rude.. It's NOT true..
Sri lankans are brave intelligent people and very kind at same time..
If you don't trust me you can visit our country at least a once, you can see it in your eyes..
All are welcome..
Truly this was the peaceful election we ever had. BBC reporter is correct.
Sri Lanka I will support you. Dubai here.
We Sri Lankans finally had a good leader after 76 years. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
❤ AKD
Indian shameful media called him a Marxist. 😅😅😅Respect BBC.
Actually he is not Marxist?
Him not being a marxist is an L
He is a Marxist. JVP is still a Marxist organisation and he is still its leader.
A great person to lead this beautiful country
අනුර ජනපති සහොදරයාට ජය වේවා 🇱🇰🇱🇰
At least BBC networks report it correctly. He is not a Marxist leader.
He supports the policy which majority of Sri Lankans support which is democratic socialism.
According to our constitution Sri Lanka is Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Just wait and see how he'll push Sri Lanka even more towards Marxism.
He describes himself as a “Marxist”.
@jordanthomas4379 where? He identifies himself as the center-left politician
Hope there will be our system change😊😊😊😊, hope sri lanka will connect Singapore with middle east uae...will be a tremendous powerful country since now, but not meant within 5 years....we needed a beginning to that journey❤love SL.....invite all countries to help us to build that great nation back....❤❤❤
Best Wish to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 from Cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤
People vote not against Some particular Candidates. People votes against Corruption 🥰🥰
I think after 1948, this is the first major power shift. I am sure Sri Lanka will prosper in the coming years with AKD leadership.
Congratulations 👏👏 to Sri Lanka for electing their choice and let the IMF and world Bank not cripple the Economy of Sri Lanka by forcing them with shylock osterity measure
Without the IMF sri lanka wouldn't survive get into your thick head drongo
Every time Sri Lanka rejected the IMF policies Sri Lanka suffers massive inflation. In 2008 and 2022. Same thing will happen in a few years from now.
@dahirdubow8636 well borrow from the Chinese if that helps, the IMF doesn't need to Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka is a beggar bowl country hopefully this makes sense
Sri Lankans here❤❤
Wishing Sri Lanka justice,Peace and Prosperity,Love ❤🎉From Isreal 🇱🇰🇮🇱
Good Luck Sri Lanka 🥳 Great results 👍👏
anura will be a good man. honest man. he will work in a good way with international. let's see.... please help him
He will reject US and Europe and will move Sri Lanka even closer towards Russia and China.
Congretulation, Like all tropical countries, Sri Lanka's weather can be unpredictable, so it's always wise to expect the unexpected and prepare for all eventualities.
Anura 🔥🔥🔥
Moving Forward Grow Together Unselfishly !
Congratulations Anura kumara disanayaka srilankan president 🎉🎉❤🎉🎉💪💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏

Thank you, BBC, for doing a fact checked reporting on this historic election. Unfortunately, the same can not be said about most international media outlets that have reported on this thus far.
Hopefully he will do the best to Sri Lanka Congratulation Anura kumara Dissanayaka ❤👍
Congratulations to our new President AKD ❤
Im very happy for change corrupt political system . According to final polling result 🤔 Anura is the best president in Sri Lanka many educated young generation was vote for him 👌 Our congratulations mr . President
Sounds like good news. Im flabbergasted to hear they defaulted on debts since at least 30% of my groceries in the states are listed as from Sri Lanka for the past 6 years... Where is the money going indeed...🤔
What the hell are you buying? A ton of Cinnamon and 10 kilos of tea!😂
As an Interracial person and man who is part Sri Lankan through my ancestries who was born and bred in Malaysia,I would have voted for Anura Kumara Dissanayake to be the new president of one of my official nations and my heartfelt congratulations to him and his party,good friends!!!LETS SAVE SRI LANKA AND MAKE THE COUNTRY PROSPER AGAIN,GOOD FRIENDS!!!👍🏾
Promising president ,, good luck and best wishes 🎉
AKD is the only man can change my country ❤
only with all the people discussing in groups and decisions made as a group. IMF needs to go. Time to stop private companies like IMF running the world
Don't get to much hope before it's term remeber don't trust politicians
@@punarbasunath7730 we will trust him as long as he doesn’t deviate from the plan. But we need to give him a chance before judgement. He is a clean politician and we can trust him because we have been observing him for years.
@prasadsilva3699 but wasn't he involved with what the JVP did in the past, all the murders and terror rules they put the normal people of sri lanka through? What they did is smiliar to what a terrorist group would do, why does the JVP party still exist? The party should have been terminated and the responsible people should've been put in jail for the terrors they committed. This is out of genuine curiosity.
@@autumn399 what? Are you delusional! Do you even know the proper history? The man who destroyed 60000 young people was Ranil Wickremesingh and his government. There is no any criminal record against Anura Kumara! He was a school boy back then! Please educate yourself and talk!
No chearing, or fire crackers,
Leader tame the people, by instance, we ara calm and hopefull, that, honesty kindness and good dicions will follow.
We now have a strong leader committed to rebuilding Sri Lanka. I encourage all international investors to invest in Sri Lankan projects with full confidence, as I can assure you that the new government will not engage in corruption or demand bribes for these initiatives. Additionally, I urge international organizations to lend their support in the effort to restore our country. Thank you.❤❤❤
This is the guy every sri lankan people want.
Please do not use the word Marxist. He is a very flexible leader
AKD has a chance to change SL… As a politician who not belong to any Political Dynasties… I wish and hope he can destroy the radical rights and the national politics that destroyed the country… and build a better, stronger and harmonious and united country, where nobody is leftover…
He never said anything about IMF.
We want like srilankan new government in Bangladesh in nex election
Corruption - free man. Congratulations Mr.President
This is real people victory ❤❤❤ AKD❤
The newly elected President is an exemplary leader, possessing exceptional skills, humanitarian values, and visionary leadership.

This is amazing peace full election never seen our life. We wish you best work environment and bulid the county for people. Good luck Malimava ❤❤❤❤❤
The Recent breaking of family-based political networks in Sri Lanka is a remarkable victory for the people. Past politicians have repeatedly caused suffering and now we hope for a new system led by someone who genuinely cares about the country and its development. This shift represents a significant opportunity for positive change and progress.
Proud of sri lanka ❤️🇱🇰
Anura kumara Dissanayake will be great leader for Sri lanka
Congratulations Mr.President Anura Kumara😘😍❤️🧭
