Parliamentary Committee gives green light to cancel LG poll nominations
A Parliamentary Committee has unanimously decided to cancel the nominations submitted for the Local Government elections as those who have submitted nominations have faced great difficulties due to the postponement of the elections.
The unanimous consent was given to cancel the nominations at the Ministerial Consultative Committee on Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils and Local Government meeting held yesterday (20) in Parliament, chaired by Dinesh Gunawardena, Prime Minister and Minister of Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils and Local Government.
A discussion was held regarding the obstacles faced by the field officials to run for elections in their electorate and the current status regarding the amendment to the relevant Act to remove such obstacles.
The officials present stated that according to the instructions received by the Attorney General if an amendment is required to revert a legislation to its former state, a 2/3 majority and a referendum is required for the purpose.
