UNP-SLFP differ on LG surveys

The two principle political gatherings are in contradiction over the date of the following Local Government race and the way of holding it, political sources say.

The administration Gazette containing the delimitation of neighborhood government bodies was issued as of late.

The SLFP solidly expresses that this decision ought to be held by new appointive framework. In any case, most of the UNP keeps up that the decisions ought to be held under the Proportional Representation (PR) framework.

The above sources add that the President is to pronounce the decision on an unforeseen date before March.

It is likewise said that most of the SLFP are of the supposition that the gathering ought to challenge alone at the LG surveys and that the President ought to effectively lead the decision crusade.

Then, the 'Lanka C News' site of Wimal Weerawansa states that previous President Mahinda Rajapaksa has chosen to hand over the race's rules crusade to President Maithripala and stand back.
