Supreme Court was of the opinion that President Mahinda Rajapaksa had no legal impediment to contest for a third term, Leader of the House and Minister Nimal Siri Pala De Silva informed the parliament a short while ago.

The Supreme Court yesterday communicated its opinion to President Mahinda Rajapaksa on the constitutionality of contesting for a third term under the 18th Amendment to the Constitution.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa last Wednesday (5) sought the Supreme Court’s opinion on the constitutionality to contest for a third term under the 18th Amendment to the Constitution.
