Political sources say that the SLPP government is in danger of losing a simple majority of 113 seats in Parliament today (20).
The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the Wimal-Gammanpila-Vasudeva alliance have left the SLPP government, which won a two-thirds majority in the 2020 general elections. Accordingly, the government was left with about 118 seats.
Sources said that a group of former ministers who are disappointed with the government over the recent appointment of a new cabinet is also in talks to become independent. It is said that considering the intensified opposition in the country following the police firing in Rambukkana yesterday, the government is likely to lose its 113 majority today.
