President Anura Kumara Dissanayake
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has met 10 of his key election promises by November 2025, while 10 more are in progress, nine have shown no progress, and one has failed, according to the latest update of the ‘Anura Metre’ manifesto tracker.
The assessment monitored 30 key promises made in the 2024 Presidential Election manifesto and includes the 2026 Budget, but was completed prior to Cyclone Ditwah.
The promises tracked by the ‘Anura Metre’ were selected based on their high public interest and national significance. They span key policy areas including economic reform, governance, anti-corruption, law and order, and social protection.
The ‘Anura Metre’ is a best-effort initiative by Manthri.lk to improve transparency around the fulfilment of election promises. It was preceded by the ‘Maithri Metre’ and ‘Gota Metre,’ which tracked the manifestos of Presidents Maithripala Sirisena and Gotabaya Rajapaksa, respectively.
Seven of the 30 promises tracked by the ‘Anura Metre’ were added based on public feedback. Manthri.lk invites the public to nominate additional promises that they believe warrant tracking.
Manthri.lk is Sri Lanka’s only Parliamentary monitoring platform, and is managed by Verité Research, Sri Lanka’s largest independent think tank.
The full updated status of all tracked promises is available in Sinhala, Tamil, and English at: https://manthri.lk/en/anura-metre.
