Show Notes

Sri Lankans have elected Anura Kumara Dissanayake as their new president, following a second tally of preferential votes, the first time in the country's history. Dr Chulanee Attanayake, a researcher at Swinburne University of Technology, explains why this is significant as also for the first time, the president is not from a political dynasty. Plus, he will also navigate the country out of the economic collapse it experienced in 2022.
