New bill should be passed to hold Provincial Council Polls: Dinesh Gunawardena

Date:

The holding of the Provincial Council Election may not be possible until a new bill is tabled and passed in Parliament, said Chairman of the Parliamentary Special Committee for Electoral Law Reforms Minister Dinesh Gunawardena.

The Provincial Council Election cannot be held under the existing bill, he noted, suggesting that the bill must be revoked completely.

The existing bill was passed by the endorsement of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), Gunawardena went on, adding that their voice against the bill as the then Opposition only went unheard.
