JO Demands Immediate NCPC Elections

JO member and MP S.M. Chandrasena has  called a  news conference to brief  the current position in the North-Central Provincial Council (NCPC) . He said, Governor’s refusal  to accept  affidavits of  17 UPFA members is unconstitutional. The Governor  should  replace Chief Minister Peshala Jayaratne with one,  who commands majority support in the NCPC.

The other  alternative left  for the NCPC governor is to  call for   fresh election  for NCPC.

Meanwhile, JO member G.L. Peiris said the appointment of new ministers to the NCPC was merely an attempt to safeguard the government’s balance of power .
