President Ranil Wickremesinghe is talking nonsense pertaining to the Local Government polls, Opposition Leader MP Sajith Premadasa claimed today.

Making a special statement, MP Premadasa said that the President was acting in an arrogant manner by stating there is no election.

He further questioned how the United National Party (UNP) headed by the President had handover nominations, if there was no election as claimed by the President.

His remarks come after President Ranil Wickremesinghe informed Parliament today that there was no local government polls as the National Election Commission had not officially set a date for the election.
