Central Province Governor Maithri Gunaratne has resigned from the post of Governor today. Several social media sites reported earlier today that President Maithripala Sirisena had requested Gunaratne as well as Southern Province Governor Keerthi Tennakoon last night to resign from their posts.
It was further reported that senior members and organizers of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) had continuously complained against the actions of Governors Gunaratne and Tennakoon to the President.
The senior SLFP members have claimed that the two Governors had sidelined the SLFP organizers in the two provinces and were more supportive towards the organizers of the Rajapaksa led Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP). The issue was even taken up for discussion at the SLFP Central Committee recently.
