Sri Lanka Freedom Party Central Committee is meeting this morning to discuss the post-election situation, political reports said.

The SLFP CC is expected to discuss the formation of a national government.

This is the first occasion that the CC is meeting following dramatic changes in the party. A new General Secretary was appointed to the party last week.

On August 17, 13 SLFP CC members were removed by President Maithripala Sirisena, who appointed his loyalists in place of the removed members.

Certain reports said that the SLFP was considering pulling out of the UPFA, effectively bringing the alliance to an end.
