With it's incumbent President fleeing the country, Sri Lanka has a question of who will the successor of Gotabaya Rajapaksa. What will be it's future and how can it improve itself from the abysmal condition.

The current Prime Minister shall hold the post of the President for 30 days and he cannot step back to his previous post once he/she is elected the President. Protestors celebrating the resignatio
