Amendment to LG elections passed
Local Government Elections (Amendment) bill was passed in Parliament today with 120 voting for it none against and 44 MP’s abstaining.
MPs of the Joint Opposition abstained from voting while the JVP and TNA MPs voting with the government. Sixty MPs were not present in the chamber at the time of vote.
The passing if this is expected to clear the hurdle to holding elections to Local Authorities which are overdue by nearly two years.
