JO parties to contest under ‘flower bud’

All parties in the joint opposition have decided to contest the upcoming local government election under the ‘flower bud’ symbol of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, say party sources.

The parties, including the National Freedom Front, Democratic Left Front, Lanka Sama Samaja Party, TMVP and Mahajana Eksath
Peramuna, are due to enter into an alliance with the SLPP within the next two weeks.

Discussions are presently underway to determine the quotas for each party at the election, the sources add.

Meanwhile, the United National Front says it will announce by this weekend the quotas for its constituent parties that will contest the polls under the ‘elephant’ symbol.

A spokesman for Sirikotha said the candidate lists have already been finalized and would be submitted for approval.
