It’s reported that a sole candidate is contesting for the Yatiyantota Pradeshiya Sabha from two political parties.
The candidate, known as one Anura alias Samantha, is from Amanawala division of the Yatiyantota PS.
Accordingly, it is revealed that he is contesting from the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna as well as from the People’s Struggle Alliance.
According to the District Returning Officer, it has been confirmed that Anura is listed as a candidate for both parties.
The official noted that if a petition had been submitted earlier, the nomination could have been withdrawn before finalization.
However, he warned that if the candidate wins from either party and if the issue is legally challenged, his candidacy could be invalidated by courts.
