Elections Dept. cancels registration of 3 political parties

1 February 2012 09:54 am

The Elections Department cancelled the registration of three political parties namely the National Unity Alliance (NUA) formed by SLMC founder leader late A.H.M. Ashraff, the People’s Front of Liberation Tigers(PFLT) formed by the LTTE and the Eelam People’s Democratic National Front (ENDLF)

The Elections Commissioner has cancelled these parties because they have failed to submit relevant documents required annually to keep their registrations intact.  The parties are required to send their annual statements of accounts in terms of the new law. (Kelum Bandara)
