Supreme Court grants permission for local council elections to go ahead

Date:

The National Election Commission’s proposed schedule for the 2023 Local Government Election has been approved by Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court.

The National Election Commission is required by law to defend the right of the people to vote, the Supreme Court emphasized. The Supreme Court further emphasized that because the National Election Commission had previously committed to holding the Local Government Election in accordance with the Law, no directives were required in this case.

In a recent affidavit to the Supreme Court, Saman Sri Ratnayake, the commissioner general of the National Elections Commission, asked the court to urge the concerned factions to give all essential financial and other facilities for the Local Government Election.
