Reliable sources state that a mission has been launched to remove former President Maithripala Sirisena from the position of Chairman of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.
The sources indicate that this operation is being carried out under the patronage of a former strongman in politics and a strongman who is currently in the ruling party.
Their plan is to remove Mr. Maithripala Sirisena from the post of party president based on a clause in the party constitution.
The article states that if someone from the party becomes president, he or she will become the president of the party ex officio. But if not in that case, according to the party constitution, he or she should get elected as the party president.
Based on that article, a case has already been filed against Mr. Maithripala Sirisena in court and their plan is to appoint Mr. Mahinda Amaraweera as the temporary leader if a favorable situation emerges from the case.
