Executive Presidency should be changed even if Sajith wins: Eran

Colombo, July 17 (Daily Mirror) -  The present system of governance which is based on the Executive Presidency should be changed even if Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa emerges victorious at this year's Executive Presidency, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Eran Wickramaratne said today.

MP Wickramaratne came up with this remark in response to a question raised by journalists at a media briefing as to whether the SJB will scrap the Executive Presidency if its leader emerges victorious at this year's Presidential election.

"All political parties have agreed that the Presidential system of governance should be done away with. Therefore, this system has to be changed," he said.
