Hi @nasabear

What are your thoughts on this? The way things are looking Maithripala should be able to secure a win. He's doing a good job at cleaning up corruption. It will be interesting to see if the public majority support it. Will be very positive if the current political party continues.

Sri Lanka’s president dissolved parliament on Friday, a government spokesman said, in an effort to consolidate power and push through political reforms.
Two government officials said elections will be held to elect a new parliament on 17 August.
The president, Maithripala Sirisena, who was elected on 8 January, needs parliamentary support to push through reforms he has promised, including limits on the powers of the executive presidency.
