Details: How President Dissolved the Parliament and Announced the Election

[Mr.Myself]

The Constitution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka

CHAPTER XI

THE LEGISLATURE

Procedure and Powers

70. [ (1) The President may by Proclamation, summon,
prorogue and dissolve Parliament:

Provided that the President shall not dissolve Parliament
until the expiration of a period of not less than four years and
six months from the date appointed for its first meeting, unless
Parliament requests the President to do so by a resolution passed
by not less than two-thirds of the whole number of Members
(including those not present), voting in its favour .]


yes it says the president have the power to dissolve the parliament, but every power must follow the procedure enacted in the constitution.

what they have done is just picked the power of the president, and carryout that power ignoring the procedure to do so.

they are referencing the word "In addition to" in article 33.(2), they are saying it means that in addition to the constitution he can do this with out following the legislative procedure.

but i think the true meaning is the In addition is mentioned just additional powers president have additon to the powers noted in the constitution ot other letters. but he has to follow the procedure dictated on the constitution in practicing those powers.

In addition to what ?
