I thought AKD was going to dissolve parliament immediately after winning? Why the need to replace a MP when this isn't the change the country voted in?

He has to appoint his cabinet first. According to the law once parliament is dissolved the existing cabinet becomes the care taker cabinet. Obviously he wants his cabinet not Ranils cabinet

Correct. However, present PM has tendered his resignation and autumatically Cabinet also has become non-existance. The need to appoint a PM and a caretaker mini Cabinet is the need of the hour. Accordingly, this is the most wiser and timely decision!!
