Cabinet Spokesman, Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, announced this decision at a press conference today, explaining that during a Cabinet meeting on September 2, 2024, it was agreed that the Legal Draftsman should prepare the bill to cancel the 2023 nominations and facilitate new nominations for the upcoming elections.
