A last ditch attempt to abolish executive presidency by President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was thwarted in the Cabinet today.
Minister Mano Ganeshan said the government has decided at the special cabinet meeting on the abolishment of the Executive Presidency not to discuss the matter at the moment.
“Special cabinet meeting on abolishing executive presidency unanimously decided after heated arguments not to discuss this matter now when the Election Commission has gazetted presidential elections. A vast majority of government ministers declared that ‘we will go for presidential elections and win’,” the minister tweeted. (Kelum Bandara)

What is for what NOW ? To whom Ranil working for? Is it for UNP or some one else? People doesn't want Ranil and Karu is not smart enough to be a president. So what is this for? Sagith should move on now and get UNP/SLFP to win.

These guys are playing games to safe guard their higher positions instead of giving priority to democracy of this country. Who is going to be the next head of state will be decided by the people. For heaven's sake introduce your candidate and face the election Mr RW.

Throwing money buying Journalist , , ,Prominent people organizing and instigating strikes doesn't mean one particular person is popular. People's Mandate island wide will be the final result.

NGO pundits and few 1/4marks' had met RW, seeking the EP scrapping in order to please elamists. This latest bid is a result of that and the country is lucky to have failed that attempt.
