SLFP begins picking candidates for polls

The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) yesterday commenced the process of picking candidates to contest the forthcoming Provincial polls in the Northern, North Western and Central Provinces.

SLFP General Secretary Maithripala Sirisena said prospective candidates are required to send in their names before July 1.

The nomination papers are available at the SLFP headquarters for Rs 500 a set, SLFP sources said.

The SLFP appointed a committee to pick candidates for the election.

The SLFP Nomination Committee comprise General Secretary, Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena, Irrigation and Water Management Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva, Environment Minister Susil Premajayantha, Youth Affairs and Skills Development Minister Dullas Alahapperuma, Home Affairs and State Administration Minister W D J Seneviratna, Western Province Chief Minister Prasanna Ranatunga and Senior Minister A H M Fowzie.

Meanwhile, the Election Commissioner General’s Department said they are yet to call for nominations from political parties contesting the provincial polls.

Election Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya said they have not been directed to announce elections in the Northern, North Western and Central Provinces.

The Governors have not yet dissolved the Provincial Councils to hold elections, he said.

Asked about the SLFP’s nomination call, Deshapriya said they must have decided to call nominations as a preparatory measure for the poll.

“There has been no order as such from the President to dissolve any of the Provincial Councils as yet,” he said.
