In a sudden move, President Ranil Wickremesinghe has removed four state ministers from their positions with immediate effect. The officials affected by this decision are:
- Premalal Jayasekara – State Minister of Ports and Aviation
- Indika Anuruddha – State Minister of Electric Power and Energy
- Mohan Priyadarshana de Silva – State Minister of Agriculture
- Siripala Gamlath – State Minister of Highways
The removals were made under the powers granted to the President by Article 47(3)(a) of the Constitution. This action is seen as part of ongoing political adjustments within the government, though no further details have been provided on the reasoning behind the dismissals.
