"What ever our political differences might be, our personal friendship remains the same," states Gampaha District MP and former speaker Anura Bandaranaike in a congratulatory message sent to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.

The message adds:

"I wish to formally congratulate Ranil Wickremesinghe on his elections as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.

"I am personally very glad that as a friend of 46 years and a former colleague in the UNP, I have been able to assist him during many of the trials and tribulations he had to face whilst in the Opposition.

"When we parted politically it was done in a most cordial manner.

"Once again, I extend to the new Prime Minister my warmest congratulations."
