The TNA has won control of the Karaveddy divisional council (prathesa sabai) with the support of the UNP, keeping out an SLFP-EPDP alliance.
The United National Party’s two members supported the Tamil National Alliance’s candidate for council chair, adding to the nine votes held by the TNA.
The Sri Lanka Freedom Party was the joint-second largest party in the council with seven members, who were hoping to wrest control of the council with the backing of the EPDP’s three members.
The TNPF who have seven members abstained, as well as the TULF with three members.
