Ahead of the no confidence motion, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Leader R. Sampanthan called on President Maithripala Sirisena today and stressed that the government should implement the mandate given at the Presidential Election on January 8, 2015.
Mr. Sampanthan told Daily Mirror that the TNA could not take a final decision on the no-confidence motion, and it would be done tomorrow.
“I informed the President about it,” he said.
Asked whether it means the present set-up of the government should continue, he said it was not for him to decide it.
However, he said the TNA wanted stability in the country to resolve issues such as economic and democratic matters and the ‘national question’. (Kelum Bandara)

Yes he will not play hide and seek like JO,SLFP,UPFA and UNP,UNF.He is well experienced politician, will only concentrate only what is necessary for his people and thereafter decide on Governments stability which cannot be changed as pillows for the headache.

PM should survive NCM not because he is good, but because JO plans are evil.

Agree to some extent. However he should leave gracefully sooner than later. His period is over for sure.

My3 please uphold your mandate. We didn't ask you for a change of constitution but a curbing of executive power and actually getting the country in order.

Sirisena never did it and never do it because he is a dirty thief same as mahinda.his jib is to protect thieves and benefits from thieves.

Perhaps the only straightforward man and political party in Sri Lankan politics today. I don't agree with his ideology, but he has my utmost respect.

TNA the most illegal opposition in the world! Sixteen Tamil members of a ethnic party representing minority Tamil interests only. Government perks for a useless opposition.
