The Joint Opposition is contemplating to quit the constitution-making process until the government declares elections due at the moment, officials said yesterday.

Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Leader Prof. G.L. Peiris told the Daily Mirror that the leaders of the Joint Opposition took this decision on Tuesday evening. He said there was no point in participating in the process as long as there was no elections in the country.

The local government elections are delayed for more than two years at the moment. (Kelum Bandara)

    Don't contemplate, Professor foot-in-mouth, do it. See if it would have any impact. You are simply mouthing your sentiments just for want of some thing to say. Bye.......

    All other countries are having young Politicians such as Macron and Trudeau, while we in Sri Lanka still have these rotten old imbecile codgers absolutely a disgrace to the country. Do you guys need to actually die to leave politics?
