Rathna Gamage, an executive member of the National People’s Power (NPP), announced that Nishantha Perera, who contested as the NPP team leader, is to be appointed as the new Chairman of the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha (PS).
Gamage made this statement in response to a question raised by a journalist at the Galle District Secretary’s office following the release of election results.
He further mentioned that the NPP has yet to decide on the appointment of the Deputy Chairman of the Council.
Nishantha Perera, a former member of the Southern Provincial Council, currently serves as the chief organiser for the Bentara-Elpitiya electorate within the NPP. He will also be contesting in the upcoming Parliamentary election representing the Galle District on behalf of the NPP.
Rathna Gamage elaborated, stating, “The Elpitiya PS election is the first election following the election of President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. The results of this election reflect the public’s approval of the government’s ongoing programs. The NPP has received a higher percentage of votes in the Elpitiya PS election than in the Presidential election.”
