    Saviour of Rajapakses and high class thieves.

    At the end, you will always need a Royalist to save every one. This is an excellent move by the president.

    It is a welcome news.I salute Hon.RW for putting country first at this volatile period.

    Is this democracy ?

    Shane Thursday, 12 May 2022 01:31 PM

    This will be much of the same old politics. He comes from the previous clan of politicians and incapable of making systematic changes people need and asking for.

    Samantha W. Thursday, 12 May 2022 01:32 PM

    How can this fellow become the PM, he doesn't have a mandate to enter parliament let alone becoming the PM. This clearly shows how low his moral values are.

    Leonard Thursday, 12 May 2022 01:34 PM

    A good decision. Even though I am not a fan of Ranil, I think he's the best person to take over as Prime Minister in the present circumstances.

    Imtiaz Thursday, 12 May 2022 01:37 PM

    Noooo!!!!

    Antonita Thursday, 12 May 2022 03:07 PM

    Gota has all his puppets around him! God Bless Sri Lanka

    Mudalali Thursday, 12 May 2022 03:07 PM

    Nothing will change. Ranil should retire, he will only be another puppet!

    Kosappu Thursday, 12 May 2022 03:49 PM

    Another deal between RW and R’s.
