On Thursday, President Gotabay Rajapaksa gave him the oath of office and swore him to secrecy as part of the ceremony. Following the outbreak of violent demonstrations in Sri Lanka and the escalation of the country's economic crisis, Mahinda Rajapaksa resigned from his position as prime minister.
Following Rajapakse's resignation, senior opposition leaders made the announcement that they would not form a government unless the president resigned. In addition to that, he is the fifth Prime Minister to take office.
Outgoing Sri Lankan Prime Minister Rajapaksa has even praised him on Twitter.
