August 01, Colombo (LNW): The Election Commission (EC) has called on presidential candidates to make their cash deposits for the upcoming election as soon as possible.

Election Commission Chairman, R.M.A.L. Rathnayake, advised candidates to submit their deposits early to prevent any last-minute issues.

As of July 31, five candidates have made their deposits. Ranil Wickremesinghe and Sarath Keerthirathne have entered as Independent candidates, while Oshala Herath from the ‘Abhinawa Niwahal Peramuna’, and ASP Liyanage from the Sri Lanka Worker’s Party, have also placed their deposits.

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa is the latest to make his deposit.

Nominations will be accepted until August 15, with the Presidential Election set for September 21.

Additionally, the EC met with the Secretary to the Ministry of Public Security and Senior Deputy Inspector of Police (SDIG) Asanga Karavita to address issues related to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
