“ACMC strongly calls on President Maithripala Sirisena to reappoint Ranil Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka after successful motion showing 117 confidence in Parliament. Let’s continue our march for Sri Lanka’s democracy,” the Leader of ACMC, Parliamentarian Rishad Bathiudeen tweeted.
Sri Lanka’s ousted Prime Minister, Wickremesinghe emphatically proved his majority in Parliament yesterday, weeks after being sacked by President Sirisena in a controversial move that plunged the country into a political turmoil.
As many as 117 out of 225 Parliamentarians voted to pass a confidence motion in his leadership.
The ACMC voted in favour of the confidence motion, as its Leader Bathiudeen vowed that they would.
