The is a clear inability to proceed with the incumbent Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, and it was convened after the Ministerial meeting, said Premajayantha.

The Minister emphasized that the UPFA and the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna were in the same camp and the vote for the JVP should also be considered as an anti-government vote. Therefore, 65 percent of the votes were anti-government, the Minister stressed.
