Jagath Priyankara from the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna is to fill the vacancy created by the sudden death of State Minister Sanath Nishantha who met with a sudden death this morning.
Accordingly, the government will lose a seat as Priyankara is the district leader of the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna led by Wimal Weerawansa who sits in Opposition along with other MPs representing his party.
