Run Rate of Passing Laws in Parliament

Abstract

This infographic compares legislative activity during the first 18 months of the presidencies of Maithripala Sirisena and Anura Kumara Dissanayake based on the number of bills gazetted, tabled, and enacted into law. The analysis reveals clear differences in legislative patterns between the two periods. At six months, the Sirisena presidency had more bills gazetted and laws enacted. By 18 months, the Dissanayake presidency had nearly matched Sirisena in bills gazetted and surpassed him in laws enacted.
