Chandrika and Ranil decide ministerial portfolios

Sri Lanka's new prime minister, Ranil Wickremesinghe, and the former president, Chandrika Kumaratunga, are to decide ministerial positions in the new government, reports the Daily Mirror.

Ms Kumaratunga leads the SLFP committee responsible for negotiating with the UNP on the unity government.

The new ministers are to take their oaths on Monday.

Sri Lanka's Sunday Times political column suggested that the cabinet would likely be split with 51 ministers from the UNP led coalition, and 33 from the SLFP.
