Prime Minister Wickremesinghe led a UNP delegation for late night talks with President Sirisena at the latter’s Paget Road residence yesterday, to reach a consensus on how to work together in the aftermath of the divisive no-faith vote last week.
Accompanying the Premier to the meeting were UNP Ministers Mangala Samaraweera, Malik Samarawickrema, Vajira Abeywardane and Kabir Hashim. The two leaders decided that a cabinet reshuffle would take place next week.
The talks ended positively with both leaders keen to find a way to work together again to fulfil outstanding promises of their 2015 mandate, highly placed sources said. It was the second meeting between President Sirisena and the Prime Minister on the future of the coalition since last week’s no-confidence vote
