The Campaign for Free and Fair Elections (CaFFE) has sought Opposition Leader and Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) leader Sajith Premadasa’s support for its campaign to pressure the Government to hold the long-delayed Provincial Council elections.
CaFFE Executive Director Manas Makeen and Director of Administration Surangi Ariyawansha met Premadasa at his office last Monday (17) as part of a campaign to rally political parties behind the demand for the elections to be held without further delay.
The discussions covered several issues relating to the electoral process, including the Provincial Council elections, campaign finance laws, women’s political participation, voter registration, advance voting and constitutional reforms.
The CaFFE representatives outlined several concerns they had identified in relation to the electoral process and the need for reforms, while Premadasa shared his views on the issues raised.
Premadasa also agreed to support CaFFE’s campaign calling for the immediate conduct of the Provincial Council elections.
