Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Higher Education and Vocational Education, Dr. Harini Amarasuriya said she is prepared to step down from the post of Prime Minister whenever the people of the country decide that a change is needed.
She made these remarks in Parliament this afternoon while participating in a parliamentary debate, after returning from the 2026 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
Addressing the House, the Prime Minister said that attempts had been made to remove both the President and the Prime Minister, adding that she was fully prepared to face a no-confidence motion if one was brought forward.
“I came this morning ready to face the no-confidence motion. We are still waiting,” she said.
Dr. Amarasuriya stressed that there was no need for political manoeuvres, stating that her Government remained accountable to the people.
“When the people of this country decide that the Prime Minister must change, we are ready to go home. We are accountable to the people, and we will continue to work accordingly,” she said.
