The National People’s Power was ready to take the responsibility of resolving the current political instability and anarchy in the country by forming an interim government for a period of six months if the other parties were willing to support them, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissnayake said.

He told a news conference that their primary condition was that the President should resign immediately and the Speaker should act as the acting President as there was no Prime Minister at the moment.

He said if other parties were not willing to support the NPP to form an interim government, they would support other parties by remaining in the opposition without being party to the interim government.

“We have only three members in Parlaiment. However, we are ready to form an interim government for at least six months until this political instability was overcome and uphold political stability in the country,” he said.

Mr. Dissanayake said a general election should be held after six months to form a new government with people’s choice. (Ajith Siriwardana)

Anura, guess you are missing a lot in this process. You should be supporting others right now rather you asking others to support you. You guys have the capability but not yet to run a economy of this country. Country is in a big mess and understand it well

Go for a collective interim government with all other parties except corrupt SLPP...people don't mind if there good people but all SLPP are corrupt and must be removed because of all what they did for this country

Very sensible proposal ! The people will support you but not the other political leaders.

Anura should be the Prime Minister.

Gihan Wednesday, 11 May 2022 12:12 PM

Speaker should not be the acting president, because he and his family is one part of these corruptions. He is the one most loyalist one to Rajapakshe thugs

Have an Interim Cabinet of Maximum 20 Ministers. NO NECESSITY for a post of Leader of the Opposition in a New Parliament. All MPs are Governing the Country and anyone one is free to vote opposing any resolution at Voting time.
