Colombo (LNW): The People’s Action for Free and Fair Elections (PAFFREL) is set to consult the Supreme Court today (10) in objection to the private member’s bill tabled in Parliament by Ruling Party MP Jayantha Ketagoda on reconvening Local Government Authorities (LGAs) without calling in an election.

The bill in question clearly violates the Constitution of Sri Lanka, emphasised PAFFREL Executive Director Rohana Hettiarachchi, who condemned the MP’s move and called it being tabled under the blessings of the government.
He alleged that the government is putting every effort to drag in the holding of the much dragged in Local Government Election.
