The Constitutional Council has again rejected President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s proposal to extend Attorney General Sanjay Rajaratnam’s term by six months. In a recent vote, five members opposed the extension while three supported it.
This is the second time the Council has denied the President’s request to extend Rajaratnam’s tenure. The first rejection occurred in June, demonstrating a consistent stance among the majority of Council members against the extension.
