According to the Presidential Spokesperson, the Supreme Court determination on incumbent president’s third term has been delivered to Temple Trees.
The deadline granted by the President for the Supreme Court to provide an opinion on whether there are any constitutional impediments to him seeking a further term in office, expired on Monday.
On November 5, the President submitted two questions to the Supreme Court.
Whether there are any impediments on him, the incumbent President when the 18th Amendment was adopted, from seeking a further term of office after the conclusion of four years since assuming office in his second term on November 19, 2010. And, whether as the incumbent President serving his second term of office when the 18th Amendment came into effect, there are any impediments to him being elected for a further term of office.
The two questions were considered at the Chief Justice’s chambers on Monday, by a bench comprising of Chief Justice Mohan Peiris and Justices K. Sri Pavan, Chandra Ekanayake, Priyasad Depp, Eva Wanasundara, Rohini Marasinghe, Buwaneka Aluvihare, Sarath de Abrew, Sisira de Abrew and Priyantha Jayewardene.
Thirty eight written submissions had been made to the Supreme Court arguing for the positive and the negative responses to the two questions posed by the President.
