Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa accused the government of attempting to postpone the Presidential election.

Rajapaksa said plans were afoot to postpone the Presidential election in the same way the government postponed the Provincial Council elections.

He urged the government to dissolve Parliament if it cannot hold the Presidential polls without delay.

The Elections Commission Chairman has stated that the Presidential election will take place between November 08 and December 08.

The Chairman has ruled out the possibility of postponing the Presidential election.
