Also impose them a hefty fine. These time and resource wasters must be taught a very good lesson. Stupidity gone mad!

The reason is the practicality based on poya holiday, schools needed for A/L exams preparation, etc. Delaying it by another day 2-3 days is just wasting resources as it would jeopardise many things. People and country want the general election. Just hold it. People supremacy is priority as per the constitution.
