Former Ambassador to Russia, Udayanga Weeratunga, has said that a decision has been made to dissolve Parliament on or after June 14.
He added that the Parliamentary elections will be held first, and it will then be decided whether the elected Prime Minister from that government will be fielded as the presidential candidate or if a different person will be chosen.
“The Parliamentary Election will definitely be held in the first week of August. This was decided after discussions between the President’s faction and representatives from the SLPP,” he further said.
