Independent group yet to inform President on nominees for PM
The independent group consisting of 11 political parties have yet to inform President Gotabaya Rajapaksa about its nominees for Prime Minister.
Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Leader and former President Maithripala Sirisena said that the names had been nominated during an internal meeting of the SLFP.
However, he said the names have not been formally communicated to the President.
The 11 political parties had earlier nominated MPs Nimal Siripala de Silva, Dullas Alahapperuma and Wijeyadasa Rajapakse for the post of PM.
The SLFP had also said that it was willing to support Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa for the post of PM. (Colombo Gazette)
