Parliamentarians Vadivel Suresh and Ali Zahir Moulana were sworn in as ministers before President Ranil Wickremesinghe today.  

Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Badulla District MP Vadivel Suresh was sworn in as the State Minister of Labour.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) Batticaloa district MP Ali Zahir Moulana was sworn in as a Non-Cabinet Minister of Development Projects. 

In December 2023, MP Vadivel Suresh was removed as the SJB’s Passara organizer and was later appointed as a Senior Advisor to President Ranil Wickremesinghe. MP Vadivel Suresh has pledged his support for President Ranil Wickremesinghe in the 2024 Presidential Polls. 

Last week, MP Ali Zahir Moulana pledged his support for the President in the upcoming polls. His support for the President comes despite the SLMC led by MP Rauff Hakeem having announced plans to conditionally support Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa. (Newswire)
