Lanka Exclusive: Consensus On New PM Likely By Tomorrow Morning, Says MP

The leader of Sri Lanka Muslim Congress and MP Rauff Hakeem has said there is normalcy in the crisis-hit island nation, though armoured personnel carriers of the Lankan security forces are patrolling the streets in capital city Colombo. "Of course the long queues for fuel and essentials are something that cannot be prevented. People are keeping vigil on the long queues," Mr Hakeem said. He said that after discussions with all political parties, a consensus on a new Prime Minister would likely be reached by tomorrow morning.
