The vote on the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is set to take place tomorrow (21) evening in Parliament, and the proposed constitutional amendment is very likely to be defeated based on the firm opinion held by the majority of Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MPs to vote against it as previously confirmed by Ruling Party Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam, political sources disclosed.
Accordingly, passing the proposed 22A may not be possible given that the number of votes required for the passing of the amendment is already lost.
Meanwhile, SLPP Founder and National Organiser Basil Rajapaksa who is currently abroad is set to return to Sri Lanka next month, Party sources disclosed.
LNW earlier disclosed that the demand from the side of the SLPP for Basil Rajapaksa to accept the premiership, which is currently held by Dinesh Gunawardena, is astronomical, and the SLPP National Organiser, therefore, is likely to accept it, sources further added.
