COLOMBO, 16 April, 2021 (TON): The activities of the parties that are presently going through the court proceedings due to conflicts within the party, have been temporarily suspended by the Election Commission.

Chairman of the Election Commission Attorney-at-Law Nimal Punchihewa stated that six such parties have been identified so far.

Due to the legal issues that have arisen in the face of several candidates contesting for the posts of secretaries and chairmen of those parties, those parties have resorted to legal action to resolve the relevant issues.

However, accordingly, these parties will not have the opportunity to contest elections until the relevant legal proceedings are completed.
