Candidates’ policies will be key in presidential election: Anura Kumara

Colombo, July 27 (Daily Mirror)- The policies of the Presidential candidates will play a key role in the upcoming Presidential election as people are more concerned on the policies of the candidates than in previous elections, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.

Speaking at an event to launch the NPP Policy Centre, he said policies and manifestos in the country were prepared in the past without consulting the experts in the respective sectors.

Dissanayake said the NPP has discussed its policies with experts for the last one and half years and added that the newly opened policy centre will provide a platform for any person who is interested in contributing their knowledge and experience with the NPP policies.

He said the NPP was launching its Election Monitoring Centre which would help people to report any violation of election laws and election related incidents.

Dissanayake also launched the AKD.lk website and said it would help people to interact with him directly.
