The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) has postponed a public rally that was to be held in Anuradhapura today due to uncertainty over the local government elections. 

SLPP MP S.M. Chandrasena stated that a decision was taken to postpone the public rally as the Court is set to issue its verdict on the election today. 

He further stated that the SLPP had planned to officially commence its first public election rally in Anuradhapura today.

“However, our party leaders held a discussion and decided it was better to hold the election after the court issues its decision. Therefore, we decided to move this rally to mid-March,” he said. 

MP Chandrasena said that the SLPP will show its power by organizing a mass public rally at the Salgado Grounds in Anuradhapura.

“Some people are claiming that the SLPP has fallen, they cannot hold a public rally, and they can’t go to their own hometowns. We will hold a mass public rally in Anuradhapura as a response to all those claims,” he added. (NewsWire)
