President backs Election Commission’s 2024 Presidential Election schedule

Date:

July 04, Colombo (LNW): President Ranil Wickremesinghe has expressed his strong belief that the President’s term should be five years and supports the Election Commission’s decision to hold the Presidential Election in 2024, according to the President’s Media Division (PMD).

Yesterday (03), entrepreneur C.D. Lenaw filed a fundamental rights petition seeking to prevent the announcement of a Presidential Election date until the Supreme Court provides an interpretation on the matter.

The petition calls for an interim order to halt the election from being conducted as currently scheduled until the court clarifies the date for the next Presidential Election.

In response, President Wickremesinghe asserted that neither he nor his legal team were consulted or informed about the petition before its submission.
