General Election to be held on 5th August

10 Jun 2020

The Election Commission (EC) today declared that the General Election will be held on 5th August. The members of the EC had unanimously agreed on the date during a meeting today. The polls were set to be held on the 25 April, but it was later postponed to 20 June in light of the COVID-19 outbreak in Sri Lanka. Several petitions were filed against the date set by the EC, however all petitions were dismissed by the Supreme Court on the 3rd of June. Picture by Eshan Dasanayaka
