A motion has been filed at the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka challenging the registration of the National People’s Power, led by MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake, as a political party by the National Election Commission.
The motion has been filed by activist and Secretary of the Vinivida Foundation, Attorney-at-Law Nagananda Kodituwakku.
He filed the motion when the writ petition filed against the Election Commission’s decision to reject the registration of the Vinivida Foundation as a political party was taken up for consideration.
In his petition, Nagananda Kodituwakku points out that it is a violation of the law to register the National People’s Power (NPP) as a separate political party as it was a part of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) which is already a registered political party.
Stating that therefore, the registration of the NPP was a violation of the law, Nagananda Kodituwakku requested the court to grant time to present the necessary facts to support his motion. (NewsWire)
