Today's nomination for the post of President
The nomination process for the presidential candidacy in Sri Lanka started at 10 am today. With Premadasa's candidature withdrawn, it will now be contested between caretaker President Ranil Wickremesinghe, Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Dulas Alhapparuma, and Janata Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) leader Anura Kumara.
Gotabaya fled Rajapaksa's country and fled to Singapore due to a public uprising amid economic and political upheaval. After which, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was appointed as the acting President. However, now tomorrow there will be an election for a full-time President.
