Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena has decided to hold a party leadership meeting today at 05:00 pm. This meeting of party leaders has been called to discuss the emerging crisis.
The President announced that he would resign from his position today, but so far it has not been implemented. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe has been appointed as the Acting President.
In the previous party leaders’ meeting, the party leaders insisted that the prime minister should also step down, and accordingly, today’s party leaders’ meeting will be extremely heated.
