Sri Lankan president Anura Kumara Dissanayake says that the country’s parliamentary elections, called early by him after coming to power two months ago, will mark the "turning point" for the island nation. "We should celebrate our victory without hurting or harming anyone... This should be our political culture," says the 55-year-old leftist leader, whose party is widely tipped to sweep Thursday's parliamentary vote with analysts saying the opposition is in disarray.
