Election commision using double standard? Thursday, 26 September 2024 02:22 PM

You allowed 38 names to contest ONE SINGLE seat of president. Why this double standard in a normal parliament election? Voters do not have much of a choice. Suppose JVP submit one candidate to each of the seat in the district? All the other parties have to submit only three candidates in all the districts. Where is justice and equal opportunities in this situation?
