July 05, Colombo (LNW): A five-judge panel of the Supreme Court, presided over by the Chief Justice, is scheduled to deliberate on a Fundamental Rights petition filed by businessman C.D. Lenawa on Monday (08).
Lenawa’s petition seeks an interim order to postpone the announcement of the presidential election.
He requests that this delay remain in effect until the Supreme Court provides a definitive interpretation of the appropriate date for the election.
Previously, President Ranil Wickremesinghe remarked that he stands by the Election Commission’s declaration on the holding of the election, and that he was not consulted on such judicial affair.
