Colombo, 13/5: Ranil Wickremesinghe was sworn in as Sri Lanka’s prime minister for the sixth time on Thursday, though the veteran politician has never completed a full term in office.
The 73-year-old’s political career appeared to be drawing to a close before this week, when he agreed to helm a unity administration and help steer the South Asian island nation through a crippling economic crisis.
“This is a historic event,” Tamil legislator Dharmalingam Sithadthan told AFP in reference to Wickremesinghe’s latest return to the top office.
