The Elections Commission (EC) has decided to temporarily suspend the activities of six political parties which have resorted to judicial proceedings due to internal conflicts.

EC Chairperson Senior Counsel Nimal Punchihewa told the Hiru News that problems have arisen as several candidates have come forward as Party Chairpersons, Secretary and office bearers which has led the situation to seek legal action in this regard.

Accordingly, those parties will not have the opportunity to contest elections until the end of court proceedings, the Chairman of the Election Commission further stated.
