Deposits Placed for 2025 Local Government Elections; Political Parties Express Confidence

The Election Commission has announced that deposits for the 2025 Local Government (LG) Elections have been placed for 168 LG institutions as of 4:15 p.m. on March 7.

According to the Commission, 18 recognized political parties and 57 independent groups have submitted their deposits since the process began on March 3.

Meanwhile, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Nalin Bandara expressed confidence that the party would secure victories in a significant number of Local Government institutions, particularly in the Colombo Municipal Council, where a strategic plan has already been set in motion.

On the other hand, MP Namal Rajapaksa claimed that many former National People’s Power (NPP) supporters have now rejoined the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) after reconsidering their political stance.

However, Deputy Minister Nalin Hewage asserted that opposition parties would be left out and eliminated following the Local Government elections.
