Colombo, Nov 10: The government of Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said today it was ready to face a snap election to head off a political crisis with the president. Government spokesman G L Peiris said the government would welcome a special election as it was confident it could increase its majority in Parliament. "Given everything that has happened in the past four days we have absolutely no doubt that the people will endorse what we have been doing and we have no problems going before the people and in fact we welcome it," he told reporters after a meeting of ministers chaired by Wickremesinghe.
