President Ranil Wickremesinghe emphasized that the issue regarding the appointment of the Inspector General of Police will be resolved within a week through consultation with the Speaker and the Chief Justice.
The President stated that he is fully committed to holding the presidential election on September 21 and will not consider postponing it beyond that date, as elections are an essential aspect of the people’s sovereignty and must never be violated.
Participating in the ‘Jayagamu Sri Lanka’ Colombo District program held yesterday (27) at the Homagama bus station premises, President Wickremesinghe highlighted that, according to Article 104 of the Constitution, the Election Commission has the authority to conduct an independent and free election in the country. He emphasized that it is everyone’s absolute duty to provide full support for this process.
