The United National Party (UNP) has given the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) until March 20 to confirm whether it will contest the upcoming local government elections jointly for the Colombo Municipal Council.
The decision was made during a discussion among senior UNP members, who also stated that if the SJB is open to expanding the alliance to other local government bodies, such an announcement should also be made before the deadline.
Meanwhile, the National People’s Power (NPP) has already placed its security deposit for the Colombo Municipal Council elections.
