The petitions have been filed for Local Government institutions such as Kilinochchi, Valikamam, Jaffna, Point Pedro, Karainagar, Delft Island, Chavakachcheri Municipal Councils and Velanai Pradeshiya Sabha.The petitions state that the respective District Secretaries had rejected the nomination papers stating errors in the Tamil translations presented with the nominations. According to the translation, "Front" in tamil was used instead of stating as "allience". (UPFA is a Allience not a Front according to the way it's written)
The decision taken to reject these nomination papers is unlawful the General Secretary Susil Premajayantha points out and therefore requests the Appeal Court to order the Election Commissioner Dayananda Dissanayaka to re-accept the nominations.
