The SLPP’s nominations for Maharagama, Panadura and Weligama urban councils and Badulla, Mahiyangana and Agalawatte Pradeshiya Sabhas were rejected.

The reasons for the rejections are that no proper mention of the candidates’ gender and persons other than the authorized officer having handed in the nominations.

SLFP’s nominations for Dehiattakandiya and Padiyatalawa PS were not accepted too.

Nominations for the other 248 LG bodies will be accepted from 18th to 12.00 noon on the 21st of January.
