Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's media team has informally released several workout videos of the 75-year-old premier to dispel speculations of ill-health.

The videos had been recorded at the personal gym of the Wijerama residence of the Prime Minister.

Multiple social media accounts speculated in the past few days that the Prime Minister was battling ill-health.

However, the new workout video series makes it clear that the Prime Minister is in good health and continues his daily exercise routine without a difficulty. Supporters and well-wishers of the Prime Minister shared the latest workout videos widely, confirming that Rajapaksa was in good health.

Rajapaksa was always considered a politician who took good care of his health and physical well-being. Nevertheless, rumours on the Prime Minister's health were fueled when he took a break while delivering the budget speech in Parliament last year and presented a part of his speech while seated.
