Sajith offers to be PM without GR’s immediate resignation

12 May 2022

  • Resignation no longer a pre-condition, but insists Prez quit within certain period 
  • President replies saying ‘sorry, now too late’
Despite initially stating that he would only become the Prime Minister of an interim government upon the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Samagi Jana Balawegeya (SJB) and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa wrote to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa yesterday (12), informing him that he is willing to become Prime Minister (PM) if Rajapaksa resigns within a “certain limited timeframe”.  Additionally, Premadasa has said that the 19th Amendment to the Constitution must be re-implemented in two weeks, while the 21st Amendment to the Constitution should be legislated at the earliest to abolish the office of the Executive Presidency.  Premadasa has also stated that a General Election should be held as soon as normal life is restored among the general public.  Tweeting about the letter yesterday afternoon, SJB MP Eran Wickramaratne said that Premadasa has noted that the best team is needed for the country at the moment, and that he believes that the SJB is able to provide that alliance.  Responding to the letter, the President has said that since the Opposition Leader had rejected the earlier offer, he had discussed with other party leaders and had decided to appoint Ranil Wickremesinghe as Prime Minister. The President further said that the Opposition Leader’s letter had certain conditions which had not been agreed to by party leaders yet.
