The leadership of the Ceylon Workers’ Congress (CWC) has decided to extend support to and obtain the help of the National People’s Power (NPP) to establish power in local authorities in the Nuwara Eliya District, where both parties are unable to take control. 

CWC President, Senthil Thondaman, told Newswire that as such, for local councils where the CWC has secured a majority of seats in the 2025 Local Government Elections and is unable to form the council, it will obtain the support of the NPP to establish power.

He further said that, likewise, in local councils where the NPP has secured a majority of seats and is unable to form the council, it will be supported by the CWC to establish power. (Newswire)
