Sri Lanka President to dissolve parliament

---

COLOMBO, Jan 28 (Reuters): Re-elected President Mahinda Rajapaksa will dissolve parliament shortly and call a legislative election, his office said Thursday, in a move that would let him reshape the unwieldy coalition now backing him.
Rajapaksa won a thumping victory Tuesday over his former army commander, General Sarath Fonseka, in the Indian Ocean island's first nationwide election since the defeat of the separatist Tamil Tigers.
"President is to dissolve parliament and go for a general election soon," presidential spokesman Lucien Rajakarunanayake said.
