Sunday Island
|May 25, 2025
Executive Director of the Institute for Democratic Reforms and Electoral Studies (IRES) Manjula Gajanayake has said that only 3,712 out of 75,589 contestants, 49 political parties and 257 independent groups who contested the 2025 local government elections on 6 May had submitted their campaign finance statements to the Election Commission (EC) by Thursday (22).
He has warned that those who fail to do so by 27 May will have to face consequences as per the Campaign Expenditure Regulation Act No 3 of 2023.
Gajanayake said those who violated the campaign expenditure laws may even lose their political rights; they may not be able either to vote or to contest election for three years.
