Prime Minster Mahinda Rajapaksa will not resign and will continue until the next election, the government said today.
Former State Minister Kanchana Wijesekera told Parliament today that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minster Mahinda Rajapaksa will remain in office.
The former State Minister also said that the Government continues to enjoy a majority in Parliament.
He said that the MPs who left the Government have not joined the opposition.
