SLPP and UNP to join forces for next election?
Reports state that several senior members of SLPP and UNP are in talks to contest the upcoming Provincial Council elections together, which should be held by March, next year.
The Elections Commission is legally empowered to organize the election after the 20th of September 2022.
Meanwhile, speaking at an event in Colombo recently, Chairman of the Elections Commission Nimal G. Punchihewa said that the duration of the provincial councils have been extended by a year and that the extension ends on 25 March 2023.
Many political parties have already begun preparations in this regard.
