Colombo district MP and senior politician Susil Premajayantha was yesterday (26) assigned the state ministerial portfolio that was first assigned to MP Wijedasa Rajapakshe.
The state ministerial portfolio of Education Reforms was initially offered to Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe and was turned down by him.
The portfolio was held for a few weeks by the government hoping Rajapakshe would change his mind.
However, given Rajapakshe's continued refusal to accept the portfolio resulted in it being offered to Premajayantha, who was sworn in before the President and Prime Minister yesterday.
