Govt likely to lose simple majority in Parliament in 2023

Date:

Another group of MPs from the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) have decided to unplug themselves from the government to serve independently in Parliament, risking the simple majority of 113 seats secured by the regime, political sources disclosed.

The matter has also been briefed to Party Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa, and the move has been taken due to the non-reception of solutions to the grievances they had been forwarding to the Party leadership for a long time, according to sources.

Are these MPs to actually leave the government, chances are high that the Ruling Party loses the simple majority of 113 seats in Parliament, and the declining support was even visible during the last vote on the 2023 Budget, where the government secured 123 votes in favour.
