Three more Members of Parliament from the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, elected in the last general election, are reportedly contemplating resigning from their positions and relocating overseas, as per a recent report in a national newspaper.
The newspaper highlights that the primary motivation behind their decision is the uncertain prospects of their re-election to parliament.
The looming uncertainty surrounding the economic landscape seems to be a driving factor in their choice to explore opportunities abroad.
During a recent high-level parliamentary discussion, Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena acknowledged being informed about the intentions of these three MPs to depart the country.
This development comes in the wake of a recent incident where Mr. Uddika Premaratne, a member who secured a parliamentary seat with over 100,000 votes in Anuradhapura district under Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, vacated his position and relocated to Canada.
