Explanation:

Sri Lanka follows an executive presidential system, where the President serves as both the Head of State and Head of Government. In this system:

• The President holds the highest executive authority.
• The Prime Minister is the head of the Cabinet and supports the President in governance.
• There is no constitutional position of Vice President in Sri Lanka’s political structure.

What Happens if the President Cannot Serve?

If the President is unable to perform duties (due to death, resignation, or removal), the Prime Minister or another person appointed by Parliament (usually the Speaker or another high-ranking official) may temporarily act as President until a new President is elected by Parliament.

Conclusion:

Sri Lanka has never had a Vice President, and its Constitution does not provide for such a role. The country relies on the President, Prime Minister, and Parliament to manage succession and executive responsibilities.
