Parliament convenes today amidst the protests of people

Date:

Parliament is due to convene today (05) amid continuing protests across the country demanding the resignation of President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and the government.

Parliament convenes today for the first time since the start of the mass protests, and today the government is likely to lose a majority of 113 in parliament.

The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), the main partner of the government, announced yesterday that it would leave the government today and serve as an independent member of parliament.

In the face of the current situation, the President has stated that any party that can show a majority of 113 in Parliament will be given the opportunity to form a government.

But the first demand of the protesting people is that the president should resign.
