The monthly meeting commenced this morning under the chairmanship of Premadasa, who conducted proceedings as usual. The session progressed with discussions involving both ruling party and opposition members.
The Chairman’s address, scheduled for the afternoon, was the final item on the meeting agenda. During his speech, Premadasa announced his decision to resign from the post of Chairman, citing personal reasons.
Council members reportedly requested him to reconsider his decision. However, despite their appeals, Premadasa left the council chamber, proceeded to his official room, collected his belongings, and exited the premises, effectively ending the meeting.
