Sri Lanka's president Mahinda Rajapakse on Tuesday sacked the national parliament and cleared the way for a national election two months ahead of schedule, his spokesman said.
Rajapakse, who won re-election in presidential polls last month, signed a decree dissolving the national assembly with effect from midnight on Tuesday, spokesman Lucien Rajakarunanayake said.
'It is now up to the elections commissioner to decide on the dates for the parliamentary election,' he said.
