Ranil to Continue as PM President Affirmed After Last Night’s Talks

A discussion was held at the President’s official residence in Colombo last night.in this discussion Prime Minister and Speaker participated.  President Maithripala Sirisena has confirmed that he is favourable to continue with Ranil Wickramasinghe as the Prime Minister of his government.

However, President Sirisena and Prime Minister Wickramasinghe have agreed to complete reforms in the government within a period of three months despite political turmoil in the country.

However, President Sirisena gave similar promises to the UNP a few times over the past week, he had no qualms about going back on his words whenever he had a meeting with the UPFA group.

Therefore, it is still not clear whether this assurance too will be short-lived like the previous ones.

Political sources revealed, Speaker Karu Jayasuriya was instrumental in ironing out differences between the President and the Prime Minister and guiding everyone towards a solution, last night.
