Friday Forum points out need to elect new President not linked to the GR government

The Friday Forum says that it is the obligation of all 225 Members of Parliament to respond to the public interest by understanding and accepting the current reality.

The Friday Forum said that the People expect all members of Parliament to fulfill their obligations as Members of Parliament elected to office as they are the representatives of the People in Parliament, who by their vote can heed the demand for change in governance by the transfer of power to an All-Party short term interim government.

A statement from the Friday Forum said that it is also very clear that this vision will only be realized if a new President not linked to the GR government is elected Parliament. Electing such a President is essential to give new leadership at this time and inspire confidence in the People.

The Friday Forum said it is therefore critical that a new President and an All-Party government trusted by the People is put in office for a short interim period before General Elections can be held.

The election for a new President in Parliament is in many ways a last chance to fulfill the urgent need to place governance in the hands of a different All Party interim government and bring the political stability that is the foundation of economic recovery.

The Friday Forum said it is essential that a new President must be elected who can command the confidence of the People and lead an All Party interim government.

It added that if the 225 Members of Parliament and Party Leaders fail our country by voting selfishly and without a future vision, they will plunge our country once again into chaos and conflict that will seriously impact all our lives.
