Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has formally resigned, Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena introduced Friday morning, ending days of uncertainty considering the broadly despised chief fled the island, dislodged by means of monumental public protests over a grave financial crisis.
Mr. Gotabaya, presently in Singapore, had sent his resignation letter with the aid of e mail on Thursday, however the Speaker’s office said its authenticity and legality had to be proven earlier than it should be accepted. Tens of hundreds of demonstrators stormed the President’s workplace and domestic last weekend, forcing the President to flee for his life, first to the Maldives and later to Singapore.
