President Maithripala Sirisena appealed to the Supreme Court to repeal Nineteenth Amendment. But in the early in his term, President Maithripala Sirisena said that the Executive Presidency had a limitless number of powers and that he would not use those powers and was flexible enough to resign. This constitutional amendment has been internationally supported, which is a result of an effort of nearly 38 years.
But now he says that both the 18th and 19th amendment has destroyed the country. He also states that the 18th amendment has created a monarchy and the 19th amendment has created a political instability and two leaders who hold different numbers of powers. He also says that the 19th Amendment should be abolished if anyone comes to power before or after the next election, and also that the 19th Amendment has been brought forward according to the needs of the NGO.
Why did the President who then said that the 19th amendment was good but now says that it should be abolished? What's the cause of this sudden change?... Is it because of his term in office is over? Is the main purpose of this is to extend his tenure?. Initially, the Nineteenth Amendment attempted to extend the term of office, but failed because it was later withdrawn and the extension was extended, but now it has all failed. The public has already their mind that this Yahapalana government is no longer necessary. Because this is not a Yahapalanaya (Good Governance) government.
