On 2 December 2018, Sunday Times published an article regarding dissolution of cabinet of ministers quoting incorrect article of the constitution. This entry also includes two information analyses on how the newspapers (published on 1, 2, 3 and 4 December 2018) reported on Mahinda Rajapaksa’s designation.
