President Rajapaksa resigns after fleeing Sri Lanka | 德国之声

The Sri Lankan speaker of parliament accepted a resignation letter from President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, having verified its authenticity after it was flown from Singapore late on Thursday, he told reporters.

Rajapaksa fled the country Wednesday amid protests and calls for his resignation. He initially fled to the Maldives and arrived in Singapore on Thursday. Prime Minister Wickremesinghe has been sworn in as interim president until a new one is selected.

“I have accepted the resignation. From this point, we will move to constitutionally appoint a new president,” the speaker, Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana, said on Friday. The process to find a new president would take seven days, he added.
