Sri Lanka will have its first ever government run by siblings when President Gotabaya Rajapaksa appoints older brother Mahinda as prime minister on Thursday
Sri Lankan presidential candidate and former defence chief Gotabaya Rajapaksa is seated next to a billboard carrying portraits of him self and his brother Mahinda at his residence in Colombo, Sri Lanka, November 6, 2019
He and brother Mahinda Rajapaksa, are adored by the Sinhala-Buddhist majority — but loathed among minority Tamils — for spearheading the brutal crushing of Tamil Tiger separatists 10 years ago to end Sri Lanka's civil war."Prime Minister Rajapaksa will have his cabinet appointed shortly after taking his oath of office," said spokesman Vijayananda Herath.
Wickremesinghe came to power in 2015 on a promise to prosecute members of the outgoing Rajapaksa regime who were accused of corruption and even murder but failed to bring any perpetrators to justice.
