*******

When nominations concluded at 12.00 noon yesterday, 2,378 candidates had joined the fray from at least 17 political parties and 23 independent groups, in contention for a total of 102 seats.

In addition, two bonus seats are on offer to the winners of the Western province, which consists of three districts, namely Colombo, Gampaha and Kalutara. However the nomination papers of seven political parties and six independent groups have been rejected, due to irregularities.

In Colombo, the nominations of two political parties and three independent groups have been rejected, with three parties and two independent groups suffered the same fate in Gampaha. In Kalutara too the nominations submitted by two parties and one independent group have been rejected.

Main political parties such as the UPFA, UNP and the JVP have submitted nominations for all three districts.
