Sri Lanka Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa, who tendered his resignation on Monday, has recommended the formation of an all-party interim government in his letter to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Uncertainty looms over who will take over as the prime minister, as the island nation is going through one of its most difficult phase.
