At least 16 of the 26 SLFP Parliamentarians, who joined the government might leave their current positions and return to their original positions, Parliamentarian T. B Ekanayake said.

A number of the SLFPers, including some who have taken up Deputy and State Ministerial portfolios in the new government, were currently discussing the matter, he said.

“A decision will be taken next week,” Ekanayake said.

The Parliamentarian said that members were being pressured by the voters of their respective electorates to return.

Speaking of the general elections, Ekanayake said the party would kick off their campaign with former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, if Parliament was dissolved, in Anuradhapura.

“If Parliament is not dissolved we will begin our rallies with the participation of Mahinda Rajapaksa from Matara,” Ekanayake said. (DS)

You are an idiot, that is all to say.

This could happen if the govt. further delays the generalelection. They want to solve critical problems with a weakminority govt. without passing it to a stable govt. after theelections.

This man was begging RW to take him into the Govt. 3 weeks before, it was a failure... that is why he jabbers.

Well Done SLFP. The nation salutes you for the courage.

Mr. Sirisena has done some impressive work. But people fear that appointing wrong PM will result in foreigners ruling the country.

Sithumi Sunday, 17 May 2015 02:26 PM

Even then MR will be voted to power as they know he is a leader with backbone.

P Dias Sunday, 17 May 2015 02:01 PM

Only thing is, the UNP has to do is published alleged corrupt deals done by previous MP,s before the next general election on each ward.Let the people know about it, also TIGERS were defeated by the armed forces not the politicians.There are the ones sacrifice their lives to save the mother land.MR travelled with absolute security.

My good friend be prepared to serve a sentence. You are trying to bump suck the hypocrites for personal benefits.

Calistus Jayatilleke Sunday, 17 May 2015 01:33 PM

Birds of a flock get together. Their only salvation is to bring back Ali Baba so that the thieves can live happily ever after.

Nice. The SLFP need to be cleaned up before the elections.
