CA stays holding of 19 LG polls in Jaffna

The Court of Appeal today issued an interim order to prevent the holding of elections to 19 local government bodies in the Jaffna district after taking into consideration election petitions   filed by both the UPFA and the UNP.

Sixteen of the petitions were filed by the UPFA and three by the UNP objecting to the decision by Elections Department officials to reject their nominations to these LG bodies.

The court ordered objections to be filed before February 28 by both the Respondents and the Plaintiff.
Meanwhile in another interim order, the CA stayed the holding of the election to the Yatinuwara Pradeshiya Sabha to consider an election petition by the UNP.
