The president left the country on a military jet before his expected resignation on Wednesday.
The leader arrived in the capital of the island nation at 3:00 a.m., according to the report. According to the report, the former Finance Minister is headed to the US.
Over the weekend, the president relented to demands to step down after thousands of protesters invaded his official residence. Protesters have been calling for his removal for months due to financial mismanagement that led to food and fuel shortages.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe agreed to step down in exchange for an all-party government being formed by the opposition. The speaker said that a vote for president will be held on July 19th.
