Tradition OF VIOLENCE
Dissanayaka’s party led two rebellions in the 1970s and 1980s that left more than 80, 000 persons dying before renouncing crime.
In the decades since, it had been a marginal player in Sri Lankan politics, winning only 4 % of the vote in the most recent legislative elections in 2020.
