Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission has decided to terminate the recognition awarded to political parties which had failed to submit their financial statements.
The Commission’s action may result in certain political parties being ended up as political movements not accepted as parties eligible to contest any election.
Accordingly, the Election Commission has decided to call for a report on the parties that have failed to submit their financial statements, pointing out that their decision comes in as certain political groups have failed to submit their statements since 2021.
It added that these political groups were informed to submit their 2021 financial statements within a period of 14 days, of which the deadline was last week.
