Following his victory in the 2024 presidential election, Anura Kumara Dissanayake shared a heartfelt message on his official social media account, addressing the nation and reflecting on the historic significance of this moment.
In his message, he acknowledged the long journey that led to this victory, one that he emphasized was not his alone, but a collective achievement of all Sri Lankans. He thanked the countless people who had worked tirelessly for change, many of whom sacrificed their “blood, tears, sweat, and even lives” to bring this dream to fruition. According to Dissanayake, this victory is a tribute to those sacrifices, and he recognized the deep weight of responsibility that now rests in the hands of his administration.
He also spoke of the need to rewrite Sri Lankan history, noting that the country stands on the threshold of a new beginning. With his victory, he declared that the “era of renaissance” for Sri Lanka is about to begin—an era where all communities, Sinhalese, Tamil, and Muslim, unite for the nation’s revival.
President Dissanayake urged everyone to come together, setting aside differences, to build a better future for the country. His message calls for unity, hope, and collective effort in creating a new chapter in Sri Lanka’s history, one where the dreams of past generations are finally realized.
With this rallying cry, he invited all citizens to join hands and embark on a journey of national renewal, marking the beginning of what he called the “Renaissance Era.”
