Both the Green party and the deposed strongman’s cabal are pressing that the Diyawanna council be dissolved paving the way for an early general election.

Both parties are keen on going for an early election on Astrological advice, they say.  Astrologers have told the Green party leaders that stars would be favourable to them if the election is held before July 17.  According to the advice of astrologers whom the cabal leaders have consulted, the deposed strongman becoming the next Prime Minister is a certainty if the general election is held in August.  However, the New Big Boss who commands the power to dissolve the council remains unconcerned about the strident calls for dissolution to the much chagrin of the Greens, our sources say.
