Speculation is rife that Parliament will be dissolved tonight, following intimation to that effect, by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to Tamil political parties at a meeting on June 16.

Democratic People’s Front (DPF) leader Mano Ganesan told Daily Mirror yesterday that President Maithripala Sirisena did not rule out the possibility, when the members of the newly formed Tamil coalition, the Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) led by Ganesan sought his confirmation when they met the President on June 17.
