President Calls for Unity Among All Parties on 13A: Says Provincial Council Elections Will Happen Soon

The implementation of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution should be done in a way that suits the nation’s growth and future, President Ranil Wickremesinghe said today.

“This should be done only if everyone comes to an agreement to engage proactively,” President Wickremesinghe said in Parliament commencing a Special Statement regarding the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.

“I could see that some political parties are reluctant to present ideas regarding the devolution of power. Let’s change this at least now.”

“Our country can move forward only if everyone moves forward together. Let’s not dwell on the past and think about the future. Let’s think about the future of the country and come to a common consensus,” the President said.
