All party government on the rocks; State ministers due to be sworn in next week!
With political parties such as the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, Jathika Jana Balawegaya, Sri Lanka Freedom Party and Tamil National Alliance refusing to join the government, hopes of forming an all-party government seems an impossible task.
As a result, it is said that the President’s attention is focused on implementing an all-party program instead of an all-party government. The President has held discussions with all political parties represented in parliament except the National People’s Power, and obtained proposals.
Another discussion was held in Parliament yesterday (12th) under the patronage of the Prime Minister but that too ended in a deadlock. It is also reported that some political parties that discussed with the President have agreed to accept ministerial posts and some parties have agreed to support without obtaining ministerial posts.Some political parties are willing to provide support from outside.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe has also explained the facts during the meeting of the ruling party members.
