The Election Commission has issued a statement over several reports that a member of the Commission has resigned.
The Commission issued the statement in relation to reports of all members of the Commission resigning and one member having directed the resignation letter to the Presidential Secretariat.
The Secretary of the Commission HMTD Herath in the statement claimed that such a resignation letter has not been handed over to the Commission while members of the Election Commission are engaged in their Constitutional duties in preparing for the conduct of the 2023 Local Government Election.
The statement added that such statements are circulated in an attempt to tarnish the image of the Election Commission and its members amongst the public.
