Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has not informed any groups that he will resign from the premiership as he still holds the majority seats in Parliament, senior officials from the Prime Minister's Office told Daily Mirror a short while ago.

Officials said that the Prime Minister in his discussions with SLPP party members and independent and religious groups had not discussed his resignation as he still had over 100 seats in Parliament, and any other claims are false, the Prime Minister's Office said.

Senior officials from Rajapaksa's office were responding to claims made by Udaya Gammanpila who informed the media today morning that 120 MPs were now supporting the No Confidence Motion against the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister himself had informed certain groups including Buddhist monks and party leaders that he was ready to step down.

Gammanpila said some group who was using powers of the Prime Ministers unduly was preventing him from stepping down and if they continued to do so, he would reveal the names of those persons.

Senior officials from the Prime Minister's office however said these claims were false and this was allegedly an attempt by Gammanpila to mislead the opposition parliamentarians. (Jamila Husain)

    sam Monday, 25 April 2022 04:03 PM

    Mr MR please go before you are kicked out. 100 seats is not a majority

    Hubert Congreve Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:24 AM

    Mahinda bear it in mind the whole nation does not want the ruling of Rajapakshes' and you are not exceptional, get out without being greedy.

    Koslanda Ratnayake Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:26 AM

    Why MR its enough you and your family looted our hard earned money, still you want to loot, its too much, don't be so greedy.

    Dr. A.K. Karunatillake Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:28 AM

    Sir, I know all the doctors who treats you, they say your health condition is detreating day by day. Why not you quit politics, retire and rest at home looking after your health.

    GF Troops Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:31 AM

    MR mama, we fight at Galle Face not only for Gota, for you also to get out soon, the decision to appoint a Prime Minister is in the hands of the younger generation and not Gamampilla or you old guys.

    Prof. Janz Rodrigo Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:34 AM

    You cannot even walk without any help either side, hence you only lie that you are running, doing exercise etc., mentally you are down and becoming a lunatic. A Lunatic cannot be our PM and rule our nation, you should understand.

    R. Duraisingham Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:36 AM

    Greedy fellow, now he has to count the days rather than heating up his PM's seat in the Parliament.

    Jerald Munaweera Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:37 AM

    You can just imagine that you are the Prime Minister but we need to appoint a young and active educated bullet as our PM soon.

    Nina maina Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:43 AM

    Shameless maina go home or we chase you out soon

    kaputasHitThePlane Tuesday, 26 April 2022 04:48 AM

    Galle Face Youth Association Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:09 AM

    Neil Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:21 AM

    What a greedy fellow with one leg in the grave pit.

    Sudu Kaputa B-O-Z-I-L Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:21 AM

    Mahinda wake-up and conclude your day dream, its time to pack your bags and get ready to go with your beloved brother Gota to Uganda.

    Neil Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:31 AM

    Basil is manipulating Mahinda so that he can continue looting the country. If at all Mahinda had any respect from the people, that will be lost if he delays his retirement.

    Toastan Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:38 AM

    Mahinda you are too old and your main wires are dis-connected, you can't even stand neither talk a word properly, why you are so greedy for power? Man take care about your health until you go to the pit.

    Ven. Kottawa Amaratissa Thero Tuesday, 26 April 2022 05:48 AM

    How can this sinner Mahinda say that he will not resign, Is he thinking that he is a God, mind it Mahinda you are mentally affected, you need rest please for heaven-sake get out and get lost.
