SJB allege irregularities with counting of second preference votes

Colombo, September 22 (Daily Mirror) - Whilst alleging that there have been irregularities with regard to the second preference vote count at the Presidential Elections 2024, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) today said legal action will be taken if the necessity arises.

SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara told a briefing today that the second count has begun in some counting centers without his party’s agents. 

“We requested that the second count should take place in front of our party agents. However our agents have not been allowed to enter the counting centers,” he said.
