Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Spokesman MA Sumanthiran  congratulations to Anura Kumara Dissanayake on his historic victory in the presidential election. 

Sumanthiran highlighted Anura’s achievement as notable for avoiding reliance on racial or religious chauvinism, which he described as a defining aspect of the campaign.

“Congratulations @anuradisanayake for an impressive win, achieved without recourse to racial or religious chauvinism. Our thanks to the Tamil people in the North and East who voted for @sajithpremadasa, rejecting others on #ITAK advice and demonstrating the difference in the electoral map,” .
