New PM from SLPP, claims Gammanpila

26 Apr 2022

 
  • Says all parties will decide which SLPP MP takes post
  • Claims 120 votes for NCM if Govt. doesn’t resign
  Threatening to support the no-confidence motion (NCM) by the main Parliamentary Opposition, the Samagi Jana Balawegeya (SJB), against the Government if the Government does not resign this week, Pivithuru Hela Urumaya Leader and independent MP Udaya Gammanpila said yesterday (25) that the new Prime Minister for an interim rule will be a Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP, on whom all parties will agree. “We must state that we hope to build an interim rule with a SLPP Prime Minister that everyone will accept. All parties will discuss and decide on which SLPP MP that will be,” said Gammanpila, while addressing a media briefing held yesterday. The main Parliamentary Opposition, the Samagi Jana Balawegeya (SJB) is currently gathering support to move a no-confidence motion (NCM) against the Government. “It is not the road that matters, but the destination. To defeat the Government, 113 MPs are needed, and we are ready to support any method that builds up these 113 MPs,” said Gammanpila. He claimed that there are now over 120 MPs who are willing to support the said no-confidence motion. “When the SJB and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa first proposed a no-confidence motion, we told him to build 113 MPs in support of it first, as otherwise it would end up being a confidence motion for the Government. Now, we have over 120 MPs who are willing to support the no-confidence motion, and if the Government does not resign within a week, we will definitely move this motion,” he said. Explaining how the numbers for the no-confidence motion were gathered, he said that there are 65 Opposition members, 39 former Government MPs who are now sitting with the Opposition, 10 SLPP MPs who have publicly called for an interim rule, three Opposition Muslim MPs who previously supported the Government but have now withdrawn their support, and Media Minister Dr. Nalaka Godahewa, MP Dullas Alahapperuma, and Committee on Public Enterprises Chairman Prof. Charitha Herath – all of whom will support the no-confidence motion. “This entire count makes 120 MPs. Additionally, I can confidently state that there are SLPP MPs who are still sitting with the Government, but are willing to support the no-confidence motion,” he further claimed.
