Colombo (News 1st) – UNP MP Ajith P. Perera stated that given the political situation in the country, Ranil Wickremesinghe has to show a majority of more than 113 in the Parliament.

He noted that this will be done on the 12th of December through a motion expressing confidence which will be presented by Sajith Premadasa. He also stated that even though TNA is not hoping to be a part of the UNP government, they have declared their support to a UNP backed candidate.

He added that therefore the President must realize that Mahinda Rajapaksa does not have the majority and that Ranil Wickremesinghe does.
