President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said that the Local Government elections are expected to be held before the Sinhala and Tamil New Year in 2025.
He made this statement during a visit to Kandy today. The President also stated that the Provincial Council elections will also be held within the next year.
Further, the President mentioned that nominations for the Local Government elections were called in March 2023.
“However, many of the parties and alliances that existed at that time no longer exist today, with some alliances having been dissolved. As a result, those nominations were cancelled and fresh nominations will be called for and the necessary arrangements will be made to hold the Local Government elections before the end of the year,” the President added.
