President Maithripala Sirisena will meet UPFA Provincial Councilors from Western and North Western Provincial Councils this afternoon to discuss the replacement of Chief Ministers in the two councils.

The positions were vacated when Western Province CM Prasanna Ranatunga and North Western Province CM Dayasiri Jayasekara were elected to Parliament.

Reports say that there are several PC Members vying for the post of CM in both Provinces.
