The UPFA suffered an early setback in the local elections with more than 20 of its nominations including the nominations in the entire Jaffna district being rejected today.
Nominations in respect of 16 councils in the Jaffna district were rejected as the UPFA had failed to get the translation of the name Alliance correct.� The translation gave the party name as 'Front' instead of alliance.
In the Nuwara Eliya PS sabhawa the party fielded only 28 candidates when the required number was 29 candidates.� The UPFA nominations for the Lindula- Thalawakele PS was rejected as one of the canidates who had been declared that he had been born in 1974 had an identity card starting with 79 indicating he was born in 1979.
The UPFA nominations for the Akmeemana, Hingurakgoda, Monaragala and Siyabalanduwa PSs were also rejected� while the UNP nominations for Welikanda, Baddegama and Homagama were also rejected.
