The three parties of the left Lanka Sama Samaja Party, Sri Lanka Communist Party, Democratic Leftist Front have decided following discussions that they would oppose the Executive Presidency and to extend its term limit at the upcoming constitutional amendment, Vasudeva Nanayakkara General Secretary of the DLF told Ada Derana.
However he added that they would like to keep the relationship with the President and the UPFA in good order for which they would have to find a way out. Vasu also stated that due to this reason they would further discuss and make a final decision on how to tackle this problem.
According to principle we are against the proposed constitutional amendment but we want to keep the relationship with the government also, this is the problem, Vasu claims. Hence we will take a final decision soon, he added.
