Sri Lanka’s sacked Prime Minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe has been reinstated, a legislator said, ending a 51-day political crisis in the island nation.
Wickremesinghe was sworn in by President Maithripala Sirisena, who sacked him on October 26 and triggered a power struggle that brought the country’s government to a standstill.
Legislator Harsha de Silva, who attended the swearing-in ceremony, tweeted a photo from the president’s office where Wickremesinghe took his oath.
