Old Election System Leads to Communal Politics – Faizer Musthapha

In the history of Srilanka, recently conducted local government election could be seen as the most peaceful election conducted in Srilanka. It was conducted under the new system. Minority parties hanging in national parties use communal politics to increase their representation. Hence, they fear that they may not get sufficient representation under the new system. That is why they oppose it, he said. Minister of Local Government and Regional Councils Faizer Musthapha said that the old election system will lead to communal politics.
