The ruling Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) lost its parliament majority as 42 members of parliament (MPs) on Tuesday announced they would sit independently.
Among the 42 MPs, 14 were from Sri Lanka Freedom Party, 10 belonged to constituent parties of the government, and 12 are SLPP MPs, among others.
The ruling SLPP-led alliance won 146 seats in the 225-member parliament in the 2020 general election.
