President to meet NMSJ on electoral reforms

President Maithripala Sirisena will hold a special meeting tomorrow with the representatives of National Movement for Social Justice (NMSJ) led by Ven. Maduluwave Sobitha Thera urging the enactment of electoral reforms.

The National Movement for Social Justice (NMSJ) and some other civil socio-centric groups had already urged both the President and Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe to enact the electoral reforms through the 20th Amendment to the Constitution before dissolving parliament.

The President Sirisena has also worked out a concept paper in this regard opining to increase the number of MPs to 255.
