Former President and the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Maithripala Sirisena, said that a government will definitely be formed in the future through an alliance formed with the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and the Left-wing parties.
The former President also mentioned that he is not ready to accept a position even if given a position because the current government is run by the leaders of the Pohottuwa (Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna) party.
He said this while addressing the party’s Maharagama constituency meeting held today (28) at Sri Jayewardenepura Grand Monarch Hotel.
Mr. Maithripala Sirisena said that no one from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party has been approved to join the government till date, and recalled that Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva, who joined the government, has said in the party central committee that “we will go only if an all-party government in the truest sense of the word is formed.”
“He said so and joined the government next day,” Sirisena said.
He also mentioned that there is news that 30 more ministers and 40 state ministers will be appointed to the cabinet in the future.
Although his party members say that there would be more changes if he were given the prime minister post, he will not accept any post in a government controlled by the leaders of the Pohottu party.
