(UTV|COLOMBO) – Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said the 20th Amendment to the Constitution to abolish the Executive Presidency will be presented in Parliament on 19 or 20 April.
Speaking to the media at the Parliament Lobby on Thursday (22), he said the Amendment would be presented as a Private Member’s Bill.
“We decided to give priority for the No-Confidence Motion against the Prime Minister and wait till it is finished.
The Government has failed to keep to its promise of abolishing the Executive Presidency even after three-years in office. We will give the initiative to this move through the 20th Amendment,” he said.
