The latest update of the Anura Meter by Verité Research, a policy pledge tracking initiative, shows mixed progress on the key election promises made by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. According to the updated assessment, as of 11.2025, 10 out of 30 selected major election promises have been fulfilled. A further 10 promises are currently in progress, while no progress has been recorded on nine promises, and one promise has been classified as unsuccessful. This analysis, which includes developments up to the 2026 national budget, was completed prior to the impact of Cyclone Ditwah.

The Anura Meter tracks progress on 30 key pledges drawn from the president’s 2024 presidential election manifesto, with seven of these included based on direct public feedback. Researchers selected these monitored promises based on their high level of public interest and national importance, spanning major policy areas such as economic reform, governance, anti-corruption efforts, law and order, and social protection. The platform continues to invite the public to suggest additional promises they believe should be monitored to ensure the tracker remains a relevant tool for accountability.

This initiative is maintained by Manthri.lk, Sri Lanka’s only parliamentary monitoring platform, which is operated by Verité Research, one of the country’s largest independent research institutions. The project aims to improve transparency around the implementation of election promises and follows earlier pledge-tracking efforts such as the Maithri Meter and Gota Meter, which monitored the manifestos of former presidents Maithripala Sirisena and Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
