Due to the shortcomings in the political system of Sri Lanka, the new electoral system received backlash during the previous Local Government elections, says the People’s Action for Free and Fair Elections Organization (PAFFREL).
Regardless of the obstacles the preferential voting system should not be allowed at the upcoming PC Elections, stated the Executive Director of PAFFREL Rohana Hettiarachchi.
He made these comments at a discussion held with the Minister of Provincial Councils, Local Government and Sports Faiszer Musthapha, and the election monitoring organizations.
During the discussion, Minister Faiszer Musthapha stated that corrupted and racist politicians are expecting to revert to the preferential voting system.
