Sri Lanka's new president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, has sworn in a 22-member Cabinet following his party's decisive victory in the recent election. The National People's Power Party, led by Dissanayake, secured a two-thirds parliamentary majority, enabling him to implement sweeping reforms without the need for support from other parties.
One of Dissanayake's key campaign promises was the drafting of a new constitution to address the country's challenges. Sri Lanka is currently grappling with its worst economic crisis, having declared bankruptcy after defaulting on its external debt in 2022.
