Parliamentarian Dullas Alahapperuma today questioned as to why United National Party (UNP) handed over nominations to the Local Government elections if the election was not legally declared as claimed by President Ranil Wickremesinghe.

He told Parliament that what was said by the President in Parliament was completely false. He said it was now clear who was behind the move to postpone the LG polls.

"Media and several other people pointed finger at the Treasury Secretary, Government Printer and the Elections Commission for attempting to disrupt the election process. Now, it is clear who really wants to postpone the LG polls. The corpse of LG polls is now lying at Wickremesinghe funeral parlour," he said.

Parliamentarian Alahapperuma said the entire opposition would stand together to fight against the move to postpone the LG polls. (Ajith Siriwardana and Yohan Perera)

    It is time SL people to send “Malwadam” to presidential house by courier. Whole country should do this. It would be a real international scene

    RW suffering from senile Dice can say different things at different times on the same topic. He must understand his sickness and leave before the people take to streets and oust him

    Ranil has shown his debating skill and his legal and political manipulation and twist and he managed to fool 225 in a broad light political bankruptcy in this country....if this is case ; why did call political parties engage in political meetings across the country including UNP and SLPP..it looks a political drama was hatched behind the scene...utter misuse of presidential powers and Ranil know how to fool his colleagues ; people ..so sad to see this country is going down like this and anyone can use this trick to do anything.. Ranil is like JR crafty in politics and he will pay something else to stay in power till his death ..No more general or presidential elections...Wait for a referendum of some kind to keep him in power

    The 6.9 million clowns who voted for you and your party did not want you to send the LGs to a funeral parlor. They expect you to send Pina to the funeral parlor.

    Dallas and Dayasiri criticize the EC. Bad notion and the government want to make a repeat of Public Service Commission.
