The president can increase the size of the Cabinet to 30 according to the Constitution.

Ratnayake and S.M. Chandrasena are tipped to get ministerial posts. Besides, MP Jeewan Thondaman of the Ceylon Workers’ Congress and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) MP Duminda Dissanayake will be included in the new Cabinet. It is learnt that one or two members elected to Parliament on the ticket of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) will be appointed to the Cabinet.(Kelum Bandara)
