Sri Lanka swore in a new Prime Minister on Friday. Dinesh Gunawardena, a veteran politician has been appointed for the position.

Six-time prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was sworn in at a heavily guarded Parliament complex on Thursday after protesters vowed on Wednesday that they will “not allow him to take oaths”.

Wickremesinghe was voted in as president on Wednesday in a Parliamentary election after Gotabaya Rajapaksa, fled the country last week, and then resigned as president amidst growing protests.
