Ranil Wickremesinghe, the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, has announced his resignation.
To ensure the continuation of the Government including the safety of all citizens I accept the best recommendation of the Party Leaders today, to make way for an All-Party Government.
To facilitate this I will resign as Prime Minister.

Wickremesinghe’s resignation comes just hours after his office declared that he was prepared to step down to allow for the formation of a new unity government.
Earlier, demonstrators surrounded President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s official house, forcing him to flee.
