Accordingly, Mahinda Samarasinghe, Piyasena Gamage, Duminda Dissanayake, Manusha Nanayakkara, Ranjith Siyambalapitiya, Faiszer Mustapha and Dr Sarath Amunugama will pledge their support to Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe when it is taken up for vote in Parliament.

The Parliament debate on the no confidence motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe commenced at 10.00am today (April 4) while the vote of no confidence is scheduled to take place at 9.30pm. 

 

Parliamentarians representing the Joint Opposition handed over the no-confidence motion, signed by 55 MPs including 4 from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), to the Speaker on March 21 while the following day party leader decided that it will be taken up for debate on April 4.
