Following is the draft 20th amendment to the constitutions presented by the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake this week in parliament.
The draft presented by the JVP on the 20th Amendment to the Constitution seeks to abolish the position of an elected Executive President. According to the amendment, the President will be appointed by Parliament through a secret ballot and by obtaining a simple majority vote instead of an electoral process. The President, during his tenure, will also not be able to be a member of a political party or hold any positions in one.
The 17-page document was presented as a Private member bill by the party.
