After reading a common oath, individual members signed their document in front of TNA Parliamentary Group Leader R. Sampanthan and handed their documents to the Chief Minister CV Wigneswaran, who had taken his oath as CM in front of Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapaksa in Colombo.

Apart from the religious leaders present at the function, a notable visitor to the event was the Consul General of India Mr V. Mahalaingam.

As the details of portfolios and other roles of elected members were released to the media, it became clear that all the key functions, including the revenue generating areas, have come under the CM's portfolio, political observers in Jaffna said.

Informed sources within the ITAK also said the controversial appointment of Mr Aingaranesan was a decision taken by Mr R. Sampanthan on the request by India.
