Wickremesinghe, who ran for re-election, finished third with 17 percent of the votes.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dissanayake\u2019s elections is seen as a major shift in the political scene in Sri Lanka, as he comes riding on a string of promises such as ending corruption, lowering taxes and renegotiating a loan of nearly $3 billion from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is tied to a series of economic reforms that generated unrest among the people.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His biggest challenge as president lies in stabilizing the economy of Sri Lanka, which has been going through a severe economic crisis in recent years.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new president is also the leader of the Marxist group, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), which was a part of the NPP in the elections <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also raises concern among some sections of the people, given that the JVP led two armed revolts against the government in the 1970 and 1980, in which at least 60,000 people were killed, according to estimates.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Dissanayake\u2019s first tasks will be to appoint an interim government, after Sri Lankan Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena announced his resignation just before the inauguration of the Marxist leader.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gunawardena was appointed prime minister by Wickremesinghe in 2022.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the NPP has barely three representatives in the Sri Lankan parliament, with 225 seats, which will make it very difficult for Dissanayake to call the shots until fresh parliamentary elections are held.
