We can't get two-thirds; 113 would suffice - Pavithra 

The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has no intention or the capacity to obtain a two-thirds majority in Parliament, Minister of Health, Nutrition and Indigenous Medicine Pavithra Wanniarachchi said.

Minister Wanniarachchi made this statement while addressing a meeting in Ratnapura on Wednesday (11).

"We don't want a two-thirds majority. We can't get two-thirds. Even though we got a two-thirds majority when we won the war, it won't be possible. At least seven MPs from the Ratnapura district should be sent to parliament. 113 MPs from the SLPP should be sent to parliament," she said.

Long before the general election announced, the SLPP had declared that they would definitely repeal the 19th Amendment with a two-thirds majority.
