COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — President Mathripala Sirisena of Sri Lanka on Saturday suspended Parliament for two weeks as he sought to shore up support for unseating the country’s prime minister, escalating a political crisis.
" Mr. Wickremesinghe struck a defiant tone, asserting that he was still prime minister. “Convene Parliament, and I will prove it,” he said.
By Saturday afternoon, many lawmakers were vowing to stick by Mr. Wickremesinghe, demanding that a formal count be taken in Parliament to determine who held a majority in the house. That’s when Mr. Sirisena announced that he was suspending Parliament. He also dismissed the leaders of several government institutions, replacing them with loyalists.
As of 5 p.m. local time, Mr. Wickremesinghe remained in office at Temple Trees — the official state residence of the prime minister — where he briefed diplomats from the United States, Britain and elsewhere on the political developments.
