August 3, 2022 at 3:32 PM

National People’s Front (NPP) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake says they will not join an All-Party Government proposed by President Ranil Wickremesinghe or support it.

Addressing the media, he said the NPP is not willing to be stakeholders of an All-Party Government that does not have a specific time frame stipulated.

MP Dissanayake said the President’s policy statement in Parliament today does not speak of the responsibilities, functions, and time frame of the proposed All-Party Government. 

He said this shows that the President is indirectly aiming at staying in power for the remaining 3 years of the current Parliament. 

Therefore, the NPP will not extend its support for such an All-Party Government, the NPP Leader added. (NewsWire)
