The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) led by President Maithripala has decided to take the necessary steps to hold provincial council (PC) polls before the presidential election.
The decision was reached by the SLFP central committee (CC) last evening when the committee met under the patronage of the President.
SLFP General Secretary, MP Dayasiri Jayasekera has said the party intends to seek a Supreme Court order on holding the presidential election before the provincial council elections. He has further noted that steps would be taken to expedite measures to hold the provincial council elections at the earliest possible time.
According to Jayasekera, it was also decided that the party leadership would discuss the formation of a new alliance with former President, Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa and to reach a conclusion on the matter.
