The long-delayed elections to Sri Lanka’s nine provincial councils are unlikely to be held soon as an Election Commission official said they can only be held once Parliament adopts the 2018 delimitation report.
Just last week, UN Human Rights Council for the early conduct of polls were made. Election Commission told that polls can only take place once Parliament adopts the 2018 delimitation report. Election Commission would move to hold the polls once the parliament made the changes, he said, adding that budgetary allocations for the exercise have already been reserved.
