OPPP's national list seat problem unresolved yet

COLOMBO (News1st): The problem concerning the national list seat representative of the Our Power of People Party has not been resolved yet, party members have said. The OPPP has been hit by a crisis after its former secretary who nominated himself to the seat and informed the election commission about it has been missing since then. The party through its new secretary had nominated another party member to the seat. Saman Perera, the party president said the media secretary of Ven Wedinigama Wimalatissa Thero has complained to the police chief claiming he was abducted with the involvement of the police. "We wish to request the IGP and the Defence Secretary to conduct an investigation into this and to locate him," Perera told reporters on Wednesday. The Attorney General has advised the election commission to award the seat to the nomination made by the person whom they believe is the secretary. "They will review that and most probably announce the final decision tomorrow," Nishantha Rathnayake, the current general secretary said.
