Cabinet Spokesman Rajitha Senaratne reiterated that a Cabinet reshuffle will take place in the government before April 14.
Addressing the weekly Cabinet briefing today, he said the dissident SLFP ministers who voted against the Prime Minister at the no-confidence vote might not be included in the new Cabinet.
President Maithripala Sirisena, addressing a meeting with media heads, made it clear that the reshuffle will introduce comprehensive portfolio changes to the Cabinet. He also said the reshuffle will happen before the Sinhala-Tamil New year.
It is learnt that some young MPs and backbenchers representing the UNP will get 'promotion' at the proposed reshuffle- the third during the term of the unity government.
