LNW earlier disclosed how MP Patali Champika Ranawaka, who had initially agreed to join a Ranil Wickremesinghe-led government, had changed his mind on May 14 upon knowing the Committee appointed for the importation of essential commodities.
However, today (16) Ranawaka has visited the Prime Minister with his close friend Dhanushka Ramanayke and held a cordial discussion, sources disclosed.
The event may turn tables restoring the previous possibility of the 43 Senankaya Chief being appointed as the Finance Minister of the new Ranil-led regime, according to sources.
Despite the decision to retain the post of Finance Minister at Wickremesinghe’s possession, a change of plans has occurred following the meeting with Ranawaka today, sources further claimed.
