Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said in Colombo Thursday (22) that there is a need to decide on the methodology of holding future elections.
The Prime Minister said that this decision should be taken through a review of the new electoral system that was used for the recent local government polls.
The Prime Minister made these remarks participating in a ceremony held at the Temple Trees Thursday to swear in the newly elected United National Party (UNP) members of several local government bodies in Colombo District.
