A discussion is now underway in political circles to look at the possibility of holding the provincial council elections under the old electoral system – PR system.
It is learnt that many political parties are concerned over the issues that have occurred after holding the local government elections under the new electoral system.
However, the delimitation committee report on provincial councils is to be taken up in parliament for approval on the 22nd of this month.
Issues that have cropped up after holding the local government elections under the new electoral system have delayed the forming of local government bodies over a month after the conclusion of the election.
