Updated News

(November 18, 2018, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) At the All Party Meeting held this evening, President Maithripala Sirisena has told the party representatives that the vote on No-Confidence Motion (NCM) should be held electronically or by calling names of MPs.

The President has said only then he could make a decision about the NCM.

Siting Priem Minister Ranil Wickremasinghe, installed de-facto Priem Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and few other party leaders were joined the meeting chaired by President Sirisena at his secretariat office in Colombo.

At the meeting, the President has said a vote on voice cannot be considered appropriate when it comes to an important matter like changing a government.

In a statement, the President's Media Division said the meeting was concluded cordially. However, it was not attended by the JVP. In a letter addressed to the President JVP states that they can't any longer trust the President as he is playing a dangerous and despicable game with people's sovereignty of this country.
