COLOMBO, Sri Lanka—Former Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapaksa was sworn in as the prime minister for the fourth time on Aug. 9 after his party secured a landslide victory in parliamentary elections that cemented his family’s hold on power.
Rajapaksa took the oath before his younger brother, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, at a prominent Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the capital Colombo.
