Mahinda Rajapaksa will vacate his official Colombo residence on Thursday. This comes after a recent parliamentary act ended the privileges of former Sri Lankan presidents.
A supporter confirmed that Rajapaksa will head to his Tangalle home, marking the end of his almost eight-year tenure at Cinnamon Gardens.
This decision follows a sweeping vote by Sri Lanka's parliament and the Supreme Court ruling, countering challenges by Rajapaksa's party, to uphold new legislation.
