President Maithripala Sirisena is reported to have told political party representatives that he would not re-appoint UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister.

He said this to the UNF representatives who met him, at his request, on Thursday evening to discuss the current political impasse.

The President indicated to them that another person should be nominated to the post instead of Mr. Wickremesinghe in the event Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa was unseated through a properly passed no-confidence motion against him. (Kelum Bandara)

Shameless and senseless President. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand does. Digging the grave for all citizens. Can't imagine how he sleeps.

Very serious statement by the President as he is usurping the sovereignty vested in the citizen as per our constitution which is a fundamental right. He is not vested with such a discretion this is a serious gross violation as he has discriminated by name. Since it will create a bad precedence it is the responsibility of all parliamentarians to impeach him.

You should openly tell why you refusing ranil, what said so far ,is not sufficient enough to accept its correct decision
