However still he is trying use the legitimate authority which are removed by the recent 19th amendment.mainly due to wrong advice by his advisers. Ranil and UNP still syphilizing to Prez, however soon he will realize the position So US nothing to do in the business called PRESIDENT . US need not to have to deal with Ptz, . Now PM is real leader of f Sr Lianka.
