 | | This pledge is as worthless as the repeated promises that she and her SLFP made, prior to winning office in 1994, to dismantle the “dictatorial”; executive presidency established in 1978 by the rightwing United National Party (UNP) government. | | | Once the elections were over, the president promised, she would not only relinquish but abolish her sweeping executive powers. | | | The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) strongly condemns the arbitrary and anti-democratic decision of Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga on February 7 to dissolve parliament and sack the United National Front (UNF) coalition government of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. |
