Party leaders yesterday set April 04 as the date for the debate on the No-Confidence Motion against Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe.
They fixed the date during a party leaders’ meeting chaired by Speaker Karu Jayasuriya in the parliament complex.
JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said the vote on the motion against the Prime Minister Wickremesinghe would be taken on the same day following a full-day debate.
The number of questions for April 4 at the commencement of sittings has been reduced from 15 to 8 to allow more time for the debate.
“The sittings will commence at 9.30am and the debate may continue until about 9.30pm. The vote will be taken thereafter,” MP Dissanayake said.
