Sri Lanka's new president Anura Kumara Dissanayake dissolved parliament on Tuesday and called a snap election for November 14, almost a year ahead of schedule.
Dissanayake ordered the new assembly to hold its first session on November 21, as he dissolved the 225-member parliament in which his People's Liberation Front (JVP) had just three seats, according to a notification in the official government gazette.
