PC polls: CMs oppose President’s proposals
At a meeting of Chief Ministers this week, President Maithripala Sirisena proposed that elections be conducted for all Provincial Councils.
The move, which would mean the dissolution of some PCs was strongly objected to by the Chief Ministers.
Hence, elections are now to be held for the Sabaragamuwa, North Central and Eastern Provinces. Their term ends in September this year.
The Uva and Southern PCs will end their term in September 2019. The Western PC is due to end its term in April 2019 and the Central PC in September 2018.
