Has Ranil already become the Acting President?

Date:

The Prime Minister’s Office confirms that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will act as the Acting President.

This is stated in an announcement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office some time ago regarding the implementation of the curfew in the Western Province and the implementation of the state of emergency.

The relevant announcement states that Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has ordered the implementation of the curfew in the Western Province and the implementation of the state of emergency throughout the country.

However, no official announcement has been made that Wickramasinghe has been sworn in as the Acting President. Also, the president has not officially announced that he will resign from his post.

In the given background, how can Ranil Wickramasinghe issue orders as the Acting President?
