Attorney General Dappula de Livera has advised Secretary General of Parliament Dhammika Dasanayake that Ranjan Ramanayake’s seat in parliament has become vacant following his conviction and sentence for Contempt of Court, AG's Coordinating Officer said.
Former Deputy Minister Ajith Mannaperuma is reportedly in line to fill the vacancy created in Parliament, to fill the the seat of Ranjan Ramanayake.
As Ramanayake loses his seat, the Elections Commission has to notify it through a gazette notification and the SJB General Secretary has to nominate the next eligible nominee in the list.
Accordingly, Mannaperuma stands next in the list with 47,212 votes.
The Supreme Court on January 12 sentenced actor-turned parliamentarian Ranjan Ramanayake to four years rigorous imprisonment for contempt of court. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

Did AG advise to permit Imprisoned Premalal Jayasekara to enter into the Parliament ? Did AG really know the murderer of Pararajasingham before acquitting Pillayan in his charges. One country one law ???

Is Ranjan placed in the same jail cell as Duminda?

This is good. This gentleman was not suitable to sit in the legislature. He taking nonsense and the recoding of telephone conversations with the other party not knowing was distasteful.
Silly Point Tuesday, 19 January 2021 05:47 AM
So murders are suitable to be in the parliament?

Based on your proposition, how does Premalal Jayasekara alias Choka Malli qualify to enter the parliament? Could you please be kind enough to explain to me? Thank you and may God bless enlightened people like you!

Nothing to be surprised about here. Attorney General has acted the way some people wanted.

The more we get rid of these uneducated rascals from the parliament the better. Were the people naive enough to send sordid people like these to parliament?

The patriotic traitors back again doing the same thing that they did previously. The infrastructure projects that they did with Chinese loans were not real development as some villagers think. They got developed while we and our generations to come must settle the debts with interest. Oh wait. What happened to Easter Attack Investigation? If ISIS is not the real mastermind who wanted to do a easter attack closer to a presidential election?

If someone thinks his scaggly hair makes him wiser than others or just coz he was picked to question the former PM in a Pcol gives him the right to boast about every thing. Someone loves to give dressing-downs to prison officers

Is Premalal Jayasekera suitable to be an MP? Attorney General is controlled by GR.

Ranjan is right to the very word. Our judiciary system is corrupt , corrupt and corrupt to the very word. We have not much educated people in this country who will understand severity of what's happening.
Samson Tuesday, 19 January 2021 08:27 AM
Great decision to show that the country does not have one law.
FF Tuesday, 19 January 2021 09:08 AM
AG IS INSANE. IT IS THE DUTY OF CE
Buddhist Tuesday, 19 January 2021 09:39 AM
AG so quick in jumping on Ranjan's seat issue had done nothing about the last Parliament attack by SLPP MPs. He has not filed a single case.

Shaming the Judiciary further even though it was cremated some time ago. After all One Country, One Family, No Law. Sentenced murderers allowed in parliment, and Not the one who spoke the truth

Alexander Hamilton ’s famous formulation, the judiciary is the “least dangerous” branch, having “no influence over either the sword or the purse,” and is therefore least capable of defending itself against the other branches seems to have proved right.

when a gas station attendant rules the country, why do you care about the law? 69 million fools !!
Roshanaly Tuesday, 19 January 2021 12:33 PM
Why did the Election Commissioner qualify Premalal to contest??? At that time AG was sleeping.
Paul v Tuesday, 19 January 2021 01:35 PM
AG's clients are respectively President and Prime Minister According to his interpretation. But he and his department is depending on tax payers money. Therefore, he and his department has to be work independently for the benefit of the general public.

Convicted murderer who is punished with capital punishment, allowed to continue as normal MP, but a joker who behaved silly way due his stupidity, who got 4 years prison term,loose his parliamentary seat, difficult to solve this equation
