COLOMBO (News 1st); The Bar Association of Sri Lanka states that in electing the new President, the Members of Parliament now represent the entire electorate of Sri Lanka and must perform this onerous duty respecting the sovereignty of the People and their wishes and uphold democratic values.

The need of the hour is to take decisions based on the best interests of the country and not the personal or political interests of any individual or political party.

Members of Parliament must do everything in their power to prevent Sri Lanka from plunging into further chaos and to restore social, political and economic stability, it added.
