Sri Lanka President Gotabaya Rajapaksa emailed a letter of resignation to the Parliament Speaker late on Thursday a source told Reuters.

Sri Lankans have been for some time now going through difficult times, financially as prices of food commodities alongside fuel and other basic supplies rose up almost the similar condition faced by Ghanaians.

Rajapaksa won the elections in 2019 he became the 8th President of Sri Lanka after getting signed into office on 18 November 2019, and now he has stepped down, the date for him stepping down is on 14 July 2022.

The question being asked by many is this, would be returning back to his home country Sri Lanka?
