It has been revealed that several members of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) and Samagi Jana Balavega are preparing to resign from their positions, and some are also preparing to leave the country.
After Chaminda Wijesiri, Member of Parliament of Samagi Jana Balawegaya from the Badulla District, resigned, Uddika Preemaratne, who was elected from the Anuradhapura District from SLPP, fled to a foreign country and sent a letter of resignation.
A group including Basil Rajapaksa and Sajith Premadasa are planning to win a quick parliamentary election before the presidential election, and it has now been revealed that many MPs belonging to both groups are ready to resign in protest.
The Rajapaksa family and Sajith Premadasa have reached an agreement to somehow get an early parliamentary election before the presidential election. The Rajapaksa family’s demands towards the successor, President Ranil Wickramasinghe, have now centered on an early parliamentary election.
The pressure on President Ranil Wickremesinghe to get the signatures of 113 MPs to hold a parliamentary election soon has now turned to the Rajapaksa family. Basil, Sajith, and others have held a preliminary discussion about it.
