The Election Commission says that the declaration regarding the upcoming Local Government (LG) Elections will be postponed until after the conclusion of the 2024 G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination to avoid disruptions.

Officials says that issuing the announcement earlier could lead to candidates commencing election campaigns during the examination period, potentially disturbing students.

The exams, initially delayed due to adverse weather, are set to resume this week.

Meanwhile, party leaders will meet tomorrow (December 3) under the chairmanship of Leader of the House Bimal Rathnayake to finalize decisions on reissuing nominations for the elections. Political parties have agreed to cancel previously submitted nominations due to issues such as candidates switching parties, retiring, or leaving the country.
