The JVP has named its candidate for the Colombo Municipal Council in the upcoming local government election. Accordingly, the JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva says that Vrai Kelly Balthasar will be named as the mayoral candidate. He said this while addressing a public meeting in Colombo.
He also said that women will be nominated for a twenty-five percent representation in all the Pradeshiya Sabhas in the said local government election.
However, internal sources in the party say that this appointment will create some division within the National People’s Power.
