In a significant political move, President Ranil Wickremesinghe has removed five state ministers from their positions, effective immediately. The ministers dismissed are Shashindra Rajapakse, Tenuka Vidanagamage, Prasanna Ranaweera, D.V. Chanaka, and Geetha Kumarasinghe.
The Presidential Media Unit confirmed that these removals were executed under the President’s constitutional powers. The decision marks a notable shake-up in the current administration and may signal changes in government strategy or priorities.
The reasons for the dismissals have not been detailed, but such actions often reflect shifts in political strategy or responses to internal or external pressures.
