Party leaders meeting; President Sirisena concedes that Mahinda lacks the majority

The Party Leaders who supported the No Confidence Motion against the Prime Minister of the purported government yesterday, took part in a special discussion with President Maithripala Sirisena this evening (15). President has reportedly proposed to remove the clause that states ‘the gazette notification issued by the President is unconstitutional’ and to show the majority in the House.  

Political sources reveal that if the Party Leaders are to comply with the proposal that the President has put forward, he is willing to offer the Premiership to a person who shows the majority in the House.

The leaders of political parties including United National Front (UNF) and the leaders of affiliated parties including the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) had participated in a meeting held in the Presidential Secretariat.

However, Political analysts and legal experts are of the view that it will be risky to remove and pass the No Confidence Motion by removing that part in the same Motion brought by the JVP that said “ the gazette notification that was issued by the President is illegal."
