Some opposition members refused to bring an impeachment motion against President
According to internal sources, Samagi Jana Balawega MPs Manusha Nanayakkara and Harin Fernando have urged the Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa to bring an impeachment motion against President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.
However, the Leader of the Samagi Jana Balawega, Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa has flatly rejected the proposal.
It is learned that Sajith Premadasa has rejected the impeachment motion as he does not have a majority in Parliament at present and is unable to obtain the necessary support from the Members of Parliament at the moment.
It also means that the president will not be able to go to the polls and will be even stronger.
However, it was learned that Manusha and Harin continued to pressure the Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa to agree to this.
Sajith Premadasa has repeatedly stated that the opposition members are divided into two groups and are in favour of the impeachment motion and that they do not want to file an impeachment motion against the President as he does not have a majority in Parliament at the moment.
