The central committee (CC) of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) last night decided to continue with the unity government until the completion of the period of the government.
The Group of 16 SLFP MPs who voted in favour of the no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister has said they would sit in the opposition in the House when parliament convenes on May 8th.
However, the 16 MPs have said they would remain as members of the SLFP.
The Group of 16 MPs has also said they would participate in the SLFP May Day rally since they will continue to be members of the SLFP even while in the opposition in parliament.
