Local government elections are delayed by another year?

The government is ready to postpone the local government election by another year. In a discussion held recently, the high level leaders of the government have reached this decision.

The local government election, which was scheduled to be held in March this year, was postponed by one year in accordance with the powers of the provincial council and the minister of local government, and the election is scheduled to be held in March next year.

If the election is postponed by another year, the next local government election will be postponed until March 2024. This time, the government has planned to postpone the election through a parliamentary resolution.

It is reported that the Podujana Peramuna, which has the majority in the parliament, has also expressed its agreement.
