Chief Government Whip Minister Johnston Fernando yesterday told Parliament that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa will not resign under any circumstances.

Fernando said the Government will face this problem and there is no reason for the President to resign.

“May I remind you that 6.9 million people voted for the president,” Fernando said in parliament in response to criticism from the opposition and cries of “Go home Gota”. “As a government, we are clearly saying the president will not resign under any circumstances. We will face this,” he added.

Fernando also said the Government will continue to work to address the issues faced by the public at present.
