It is learnt that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has expressed the view that if the cohabitation arrangement breaks down and obstructs the key goals of the UNF government, he would have no option but to go before the people.

He is reported to have told Ministers that if the conflict between the executive and the government continues in a manner that obstructs the peace process and economic development, the option of seeking a fresh mandate from the people would have to be considered.

The cohabitation arrangement hit a new low earlier this week when the President wrote to the Prime Minister that she has unfettered powers to remove Ministers.
