On Saturday, Sri Lanka's president and prime minister agreed to resign after protesters stormed both officials' homes and setting one building on fire.
Thousands of protesters stormed the president's home in Colombo, the nation's capital. They later broke into the prime minister's residence and set it on fire.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe announced he would step down as soon as a new administration had been formed.
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa would resign on Wednesday, according to the speaker of Parliament.
A consensus was made to allow the speaker of the parliament to serve as temporary president and form an interim administration.
The protests are due to the economic breakdown in the nation, leaving people struggling to buy food, fuel and other necessities.
