Ranil Wickremesinghe, the six-time former prime minister who is now the acting president of Sri Lanka, has been elected the new president of the crisis-hit island nation. He will replace Gotabaya Rajapaksa after the latter fled abroad last week and later resigned as angry protesters barged into his residence. The presidential vote was a three-way contest, with Mr Wickremesinghe bagging 134 votes as against his main opponent Dullas Alahapperuma getting 82 and Anura Dissanayake just three.
