History of Presidential Elections - Sri Lanka (1982-2024)

Sri Lanka's presidential history reflects its political evolution from a constitutional monarchy to a republic with an executive presidency. After gaining independence in 1948, the country functioned as a dominion under the British monarch until 1972, when it became a republic, with William Gopallawa serving as its first ceremonial president. In 1978, a constitutional amendment introduced the executive presidency, making Junius Richard Jayewardene the first executive president. He was succeeded by Ranasinghe Premadasa, who was assassinated in 1993, leading to Dingiri Banda Wijetunga assuming office. In 1994, Chandrika Kumaratunga became Sri Lanka’s first female executive president. Her successor, Mahinda Rajapaksa, led the country to the end of its civil war in 2009. Maithripala Sirisena was elected in 2015, focusing on governance reforms, while Gotabaya Rajapaksa resigned amid public protests in 2022. His successor, Ranil Wickremesinghe, took over during a period of economic crisis. Anura Kumara Dissanayake is the current president, marking another significant shift in Sri Lanka’s political landscape. --- Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
