In an interview that discusses the key question ‘Has Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s resignation cleared a path to a political solution of the Sri Lankan crisis or are there still complications that need to be tackled?’, one of Sri Lanka’s top policy analysts has said the biggest outstanding complication is the possibility the Rajapaksa SLPP, which has a two-thirds majority in the country’s parliament, could choose to elect Ranil Wickremesinghe as the new president thus permitting him to serve as president for the remaining two years of former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s term.
Amita Arudpragasam says this would, of course, be popularly unacceptable and would fuel the protests. She, therefore, hopes the SLPP will have the wisdom to act differently. However, she accepts they have the democratic numbers in parliament and the constitutional power to elect Wickremesinghe. Were they to do so it would mean the pitting of their constitutional power against what the people want and are prepared to accept.
