Former Chairman of the Election Commission Mahinda Deshapriya said there is no obstacle to holding the Presidential Election with an Acting Inspector General of Police.
He said he believes the current IGP can hold the position he held before until the court hearing concludes.
He said he believes a suitable person should be appointed as Acting IGP tomorrow, adding that there may be no IGP until the hearing concludes, but the election can be held under an Acting IGP.
He added that there is no issue because if the country is governed under an appointed President, it is not a big deal to conduct the election under an Acting IGP.
