According to the report, with the withdrawal of the opposition leader Sajith Premadasa from the parliamentary poll to appoint the successor president, a serious division is taking place within the party. A spokesman for the Samagi Jana Balawegaya party said that the decision has already been taken to vote for President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who has 17 MPs in the polls to be held tomorrow.
In addition, it is reported that 11 out of 14 members of the Sri LNP representing Parliament have agreed to support Acting President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
The support of the Tamil National Alliance is crucial, and its senior members are loyal to the acting president, according to the report.
