Mahinda Rajapaksa has reportedly informed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa that he will not resign from his post as the Prime Minister.
We earlier reported that the independent MP group led by Wimal Weerawansa, Udaya Gammanpila and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) has informed the President that they would be ready to rejoin the government if Mahinda Rajapaksa chooses to resign. The matter was also briefed to the Prime Minister by the President, we learned.
In response, the Prime Minister has informed the President that he will not resign and may he be dismissed from the post should it be necessary, sources told LNW.
