Sri Lanka's President, Maithripala Sirisena, dissolves the Parliament aligned with his predecessor, Mahinda Rajapaksa, and calls for fresh elections. This move aims to establish a new Parliament that aligns with President Sirisena's democratic reform agenda and facilitates an internal investigation into war crimes allegations during the country's civil war. The dissolution of Parliament reflects the ongoing political transformation in Sri Lanka and the government's commitment to addressing historical issues.
