Siyambalapitiya to be reappointed as Deputy Speaker

Date:

SLFP MP Ranjith Siyambalapitiya is to be reappointed as the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, sources said.

Siyambalapitiya stepped down from his post as the Deputy Speaker on April 30 following the political clash between the SLPP and the SLFP and Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena announced that his resignation was accepted by the President.

However, Siyambalapitiya is believed to be sitting in the Opposition’s side today (05) and the Opposition itself is preparing to nominate and second his name for the post, according to sources.
