Prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has decided to table tomorrow (21) the 19th amendment to the constitution, which the supreme court has found to be consistent with the constitution, even if the SLFP does not support it, say UNP sources.

Following a two day debate, the vote will be taken on April 22, the president, the prime minister and party leaders who met yesterday, decided.

Meanwhile, the SLFP parliamentary group has decided not to support the 19th amendment if proposed electoral reforms are not submitted to the House within the next two days.

Fisheries minister Mahinda Amaraweera told Sri Lanka mirror that the decision came at their meeting chaired by the president yesterday.
