Ana Brnabic vs J. R. Jayewardene

Brnabic was appointed as the first female and openly gay Prime Minister of Serbia, succeeding Aleksandar Vucic who became President. Her appointment was seen as a step towards modernization and EU integration.

Brnabic was re-appointed as Prime Minister after the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won the parliamentary election. She formed a new government focused on economic recovery, digitalization, and EU accession.

Brnabic was re-appointed as Prime Minister for a third term, continuing to lead the government. Her tenure focused on economic reforms, infrastructure projects, and maintaining a multi-vector foreign policy.

As Prime Minister, Jayewardene oversaw the suppression of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) insurrection in 1971. The government used military force to crush the uprising, resulting in thousands of deaths and the imprisonment of JVP leaders.

Jayewardene's government implemented sweeping economic liberalization policies, including opening the economy to foreign investment, reducing state controls, and promoting export-oriented industries. This shifted Sri Lanka from a socialist to a market-oriented economy.

J. R. Jayewardene, as Prime Minister, introduced a new constitution that established an executive presidency in Sri Lanka. He became the first executive president on February 4, 1978, concentrating significant power in the presidency and replacing the Westminster-style parliamentary system.

Jayewardene signed the Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord with Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, aiming to end the Sri Lankan Civil War. The accord led to the deployment of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) in northern Sri Lanka, but failed to achieve lasting peace.
