Bring A No-Confidence Motion Against Me in Parliament to Remove Me – Ranil to Maithri

The political crisis took a new turn last night in Sri Lanka , when Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told  President Maithripala Sirisea in no uncertain terms,  that he would only leave the position if the opposition managed to defeat him in a no-confidence motion in Parliament . Since he commands the full support of the UNP, which holds highest number of seats in parliament, he had no reason to step down from his position he said.

Prime Minister Ranil’s decision was conveyed to the President in the presence of Speaker Karu Jayasuriya and UNP General Secretary Kabir Hashim at a meeting held last night in President’s official residence
