The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) today filed a complaint with the Election Commission alleging that Prime Minister Harini Amarasooriya’s statement on the 3rd not to stop her campaigning even though the allotted time for campaigning has expired violates the election law.
”The election campaigning is over after today. But you guys, don’t stop your work. By phone. You should continue your work by talking to people you meet on the road,” she told her supporters.
This is a serious violation of Sri Lanka’s election law and the Election Commission has the power to reject all government nominations on that charge, said Samagi Jana Balawegaya MP Mujiber Rahumana, who addressed the media at the time.
