Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission is set to meet today (11) to make a final decision on the holding of the Local Government Election.

Earlier, the Commission met with Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena at his Office in Colombo in this regard, following weeks of speculation on the LG Polls not being held anytime soon.

According to local reports, a decision on whether the Polls will be held will be reached at today’s meeting.

Meanwhile, State Minister of Provincial Councils and Local Government Janaka Wakkumbura said that the LG Polls will most likely not be held on April 25, 2023.
