The National People’s Power (NPP) says it will participate in a discussion with President Ranil Wickremesinghe tomorrow (09).

Speaking to the media, NPP member Sunil Handunnetti said that however, the NPP will not support or join the all party government.

“What is the point of talking of an All-Party Government, when the President has already appointed a government. His talks of an interim government are over,” he pointed out.

The former Parliamentarian said the President is not intending on forming an All-Party Government that could call for an election soon.

“It is evident that the All-Party Government he is intending on forming is one that will strengthen his power and one that will win international confidence to obtain loans,” Handunnetti said.

Stating that this is not an All-Party Government that has the mandate of the people, he said thereby, the NPP will not support such a government. (NewsWire)
