Chief ministers in Sri Lanka are elected heads of the provincial boards of ministers, bodies which aid and advice the governors, the heads of the provincial government, in the exercise of their executive power.[1] The governor appoints as chief minister a member of the provincial council who, in his opinion, commands the support of a majority of that council.[1] There are nine chief ministerial positions in the country, all nine are currently vacant and under the governor's direct rule.[2][3][4][5]
