President Maithripala Sirisena has called for the dissolution of parliament a short while ago, the Daily Mirror learns.

The government printing department confirmed they have been instructed to print the government gazette pertaining to the dissolution of parliament.

The dissolution of parliament was set to take place after the enactment of the 20th Amendment, but was speculated to take place today (26) after passing of 20A proved impracticable because it did not receive the required two thirds majority in parliament. (Yohan Perera)
