With change of loyalties and the mood for reunion dimming, there is every possibility of the opposition parties asking the present government headed by EPS to prove its majority again in August at the end of six months from the first no confidence motion. In the February 2017 confidence vote, the opposition was not allowed to vote and they were evicted out of the house before voting and the government received 122 votes against 11 votes from the OPS faction. The anti-defection law which came into existence in 1985 in the aftermath of politicians changing their allegiance to other political parties, to which they belonged, clearly prohibits members from changing their loyalty to another party.
