The joint opposition has decided to contest the election for local government institutions as the ‘Ekabaddha Podujana Peramuna’ with the ‘flower bud’ as its symbol, a senior JO activist said.

According to him, more than 20 political parties have extended their support and signed agreements, under which the new front will
