Elections to 60 local Govt. bodies had been postponed indefinitely by the Elections Commissioner Dissanayake after accepting nominations.
This postponement had been made in respect of local Govt. bodies where political parties and independent groups have filed action in courts against the rejection of their nomination papers. Among those local bodies where the elections are postponed are 10 Municipal councils and 49 local Govt. bodies.
The reason cited by additional Elections Commissioner Mahinda Deshapriya in defense of this postponement is , as action has been filed in the courts over the rejection of nominations for elections to these bodies , elections arrangements cannot be conducted until the court gives a verdict.
