Cabinet Spokesman and Mass Media Minister Dr. Bandula Gunawardhana said President Ranil Wickremesinghe has instructed Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena to arrange for holding of the

Provincial Council Election next year under the previous system incorporating women’s representation as well after discussing with the Attorney General, the Election Commissioner and party leaders.

Speaking to the media at the Government Information Department, Minister Gunawardhana said that the President has also instructed the Premier to look into the possibility of invalidating the nominations accepted for the postponed 2023 Local Government election and to seek legal advice from the Attorney General in this regard.

The President has directed the Premier to discuss with other political parties regarding the nullifying of the accepted nominations while adding that the instructions were given considering  that government employees who have submitted nominations for the Local Government election have undergone various issues in engaging in their jobs and during other activities. He also said that the Presidential Election will definitely be held this year since the required funds have already been allocated for that purpose.
