Long-delayed PC elections and Commission's responsibility to deliver on existing law
Daily FT
|May 22, 2025
Following is a letter to Election Commission of SL Chairman R.M.A.L. Rathnayake regarding the delayed PC elections and existing law
Mr. Chairman, Re: Long-delayed PC elections and PC election law the EC avoids On 20 May (2025), I read a news report in "The Morning" newspaper with the caption "Govt. yet to consult EC" regarding the long-delayed PC elections that are now being contemplated upon by the present Government to be held, possibly end of this year or early next year.
You were quoted verbatim in that news report as having said, "In order to hold the PC Elections, either the delimitation process should be completed or the existing law should be amended to allow the elections to be held under the old system. One of these two must happen."
