President Maithripala Sirisena reportedly told the TNA parliamentary group yesterday that he would not reappoint UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister even if his party secured a majority in Parliament.
He met with the TNA delegation on Wednesday and discussed the current political situation. He reportedly asked the TNA to abstain from the vote of no confidence if it were moved.
However, the TNA said it had taken a decision to vote against the appointment of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister. In response, the President is reported to have said that he will not reappoint Mr. Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, the President assured the parliamentary of his UPFA on Wednesday evening that he would, for sure, secure the required majority to form a stable administration, and therefore no one in the party should worry about it. (Kelum Bandara)

President has lost the support of all the political parties, civil organizations that supported him in 2015. In short he has lost all of his 6.2 m votes.

And in the August 2015 election the same man said " I will not appoint M R even if the UPFA got a majority" : Gunness book for the man or the dustbin?

How can the president say this even before parliament has met to determine in whom it has confidence, the very basis for the appointment of a PM?

If you have acted according to the constitution why are you worried about 113 ?

Lord Wolfstein Friday, 09 November 2018 03:23 PM
He acts more like a defiant child in kindergarten, that does not get his will.
Keeraipidi Friday, 09 November 2018 03:57 PM
Very sad to read that you compare my Amma with MS.(Pun intended)
rrr Friday, 09 November 2018 03:26 PM
But international community will take that as an issue to screw the country
Keeraipidi Friday, 09 November 2018 03:45 PM
If you can't prove your majority in the Parliament then RW remains PM.So you will retreat in order not to call RW the PM again.Simple!
kumar Friday, 09 November 2018 09:38 PM
He seems to have forgotten his mandate was to say NO to Presidency.
Engr Friday, 09 November 2018 10:30 PM
