LG Polls Probably in Feb 2017

Subject Minister Faizer Mustapha said yesterday that, he had given a two-month extension to the five-member delimitation committee chaired by retired senior public servant Asoka Peiris to complete the work.

Elections Commission Chief Mahinda Deshapriya is reported to have said he needs a minimum 65 days to make arrangements for the LG polls from the date it’s declared. I hope the report will be submitted before end October so that the elections can be held in February 2017.
