New President not to be sworn in before Chief Justice? President elect Maithripala Sirisena is set to be sworn in before, a senior Judge of the Supreme Court and not before Chief Justice Mohan Peiris, legal sources close to Mr. Sirisena told Daily Mirror. Article 32 (1) of the Constitution of the Republic specifies that the President elect should be sworn in before the Chief Justice or any judge of the Supreme Court. Many parties including the United National Party (UNP) have consistently maintained that the impeachment of the former Chief Justice Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake was illegal.
