Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa delivers his policy speech in Parliament in Colombo today.

Their Sri Lanka Podujana Party won 145 seats and secured the support of six allies, one seat more than the minimum number needed to change the constitution in the 225-seat legislature. The Rajapaksa brothers are adored by the Sinhala-Buddhist majority for spearheading the defeat of Tamil separatist militants in 2009 to end the bloody 37-year civil war when Mahinda was president and Gotabaya was secretary to the ministry of defence.

Premalal Jayasekara, a returning MP from the ruling SLPP, was found guilty in the killing of a political activist in 2015.
