Hambantota District Parliamentarian Ajith Rajapaksa from the SLPP had previously stated that he would run for the post. If so, a vote will have to be taken for the post of Deputy Speaker.
However, no election will be held in Parliament today (17) and Rohini Kaviratne will be elected unopposed to the relevant post, sources said.
