evidence: COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Marxist lawmaker Anura Kumara Dissanayake was leading Sri Lanka’s presidential election after knocking out the incumbent liberal President Ranil Wickremesinghe from the race, as officials on Sunday began a second round of vote counting for the first time in the nation's history. [...] The election held Saturday is crucial as the country seeks to recover from the worst economic crisis in its history and the resulting political upheaval. Contested by 38 candidates, it was largely a three-way race between Dissanayake, Wickremesinghe and Premadasa. Neither candidate has received more than 50% of the vote.
