NPC Elections: Jaffna Commander Interviewed And Selected Candidates For SLFP
June 22, 2013
Jaffna Security Forces Commander Major General Mahinda Hathurusinghe and Northern Province Major General G.A. Chandrasiri have
jointly interviewed and selected about 20 candidates for the Northern
Provincial Council Election and the Army is in the process of
transporting them to Colombo today.
Maj Gen Mahinda Hathurusinghe
In response to their newspaper advertisements they have not received
sufficient number of applications and therefore the SLFP has decided to
engage in alternative course of actions. In respect of each of the
Districts in the Northern Province, only the following number of
applications have been received:
Jaffna – 21 (including Daya Master and Remadius)
Mulaitive – 00
Vavuniya – 02
Mannar – 03
Kilinochchi – 06
In the mean time, the SLFP leadership has been informed that Major
General Haturusingha and Major Geneal Chandrasiri (Governor) have
jointly interviewed and selected about 20 others, who will also be
interviewed today. Army is in the process of transporting them to
Colombo now. The President has already decided to put forward Daya
Master as the Chief Ministerial Candidate with full military backing.
Meanwhile, the EPDP and Rishard Bathurdeen have been sidelined for the
time being due to their differences of opinion on the 13th Amendment
issues. Muslim Congress has already informed the SLFP leadership that
they would contest the Northern polls on their own.
According to the election commission sources, confirmed by the the SLFP
leadership, the declaration of the election is scheduled to be made on
5th July while the election day will be 21st of September, which date
has been suggested by the President’s astrologers.
