The reports that all party leaders agreed to hold the forthcoming local government elections under the proposed system of a combination of the Proportional Representation (PR) and the First Past the Post (FPP) system is false says the Leader of the JVP and Chief Opposition Whip Comrade Anura Dissanayaka.
He said information has been distorted according to the needs of the subject minister.
At the meeting of party leaders held yesterday (10th) no agreement was reached but serious amendments have to be carried out for the proposed electoral system said Comrade Anura Dissanayaka.
As the proposed system takes the country towards a two-party system where two major political parties dominate the affairs of the country the JVP, the SLMC and several parties pointed out the distortion in the system pointed out Comrade Anura Dissanayaka.
