Ranil Wickremesinghe was voted in as Sri Lanka’s president backed by a majority of lawmakers from the ousted leader Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s party, a development that could reignite street protests in the bankrupt nation. The new president is deeply unpopular among protestors, who set fire to his residence earlier this month. They also attempted to storm the parliament last week, prompting Wickremesinghe to announce a state of emergency.
