Election Commission to meet PM today

By: Isuru Parakrama

Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission is set to meet Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena this (10) morning, following the ongoing dilemma on the holding of the Local Government Election.

The Election Commission had requested a meeting with the Prime Minister on the matter, and Gunawardena, in response, had confirmed that the holding of a meeting would be possible on Monday (10) at 11.30 am.

The Commission thereafter is expected to meet tomorrow (11) to make a final decision on the holding of the LG Polls, whilst dodging many queries by the public on the ongoing delay.

The EC on a previous occasion had commented that the holding of the Polls may not be possible without receiving the necessary funds, adding that a letter submitted to the President, who also serves as the Minister of Finance, in this regard received no response.
