COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — In the midst of political upheaval that threatens to make the country even more unstable at a time when it is going through its most severe economic crisis in recent memory, Sri Lanka's Parliament was getting ready to accept nominations on Tuesday in order to elect a successor to its former president, who had been removed from office.

Gotabaya Rajapaksa left the nation a week ago after demonstrators attacked his official mansion and occupied other major public facilities in response to the issue. These protesters were angered by the situation. After some time had passed, he sent an email with his resignation to the person who presided over the parliamentary session.

The head of the most significant opposition, Sajith Premadasa, a former government minister, Dallas Alahapperuma, and the leader of the Marxist party, Anura Dissanayake, have all said that they want to contest the parliamentary vote that will take place on Wednesday.

Acting President and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has not confirmed that he would run for president, but remarks from Rajapaksa's party, which still has a majority in Parliament, have voiced support for Wickremesinghe. This has enraged a lot of people because they regard his prospective candidacy as a continuation of the Rajapaksa dictatorship and as a potential return for the politically disadvantaged family.
