Sept 06, Colombo: A constituent partner of Sri Lanka's ruling alliance, the National Freedom Front (NFF) today (6) announced its support to the government's constitutional amendments and that the proposed amendments are a step to take the country forward.

NFF Leader and Minister Wimal Weerawansa told a press briefing at the party headquarters today that while the constitutional amendments are to be carried out in three stages one needed to look at the whole process before criticizing it.

Weerawansa has said the next stage is to form an Executive Prime Ministerial post that would be answerable to parliament.

Referring to the controversy surrounding the extension of the number of terms of office held by an Executive President, Weerawansa said the number of terms of office held by an Executive President depended on the voters.
