SJB visits Election Commission demanding Local Govt Election

Date:

A group of Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) delegates led by Party Secretary General MP Ranjith Madduma Bandara has handed over a letter to the Election Commission demanding the immediate holding of the Local Government Election, which had originally been intended to be held in March, 2021 but dragged in throughout the course of time for a year due to multiple reasons.

As per a decision made by the Ministry of Provincial Councils and Local Governments, the holding of the Local Government Election has been postponed till March next year, but the Election Commission from today (20) onwards will have the authority to hold the polls, a virtue which has recently been expressed by the Election Commission Chairman as well, hence the SJB’s demand for its immediate conduction.
