Sri Lanka's Opposition rejects President Rajapaksa's offer to form interim government

Sri Lanka's main Opposition SJB said that it has rejected an offer by embattled President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to its leader Sajith Premadasa to head an interim government, amid continued political uncertainty in the country which is now under a state of emergency. SJB has called for the repealing of the 20th Amendment to the Constitution which conferred unfettered powers to Rajapaksa in 2020.
