The Northern Provincial Council (NPC) elections would be held in September, confirmed the Cabinet spokesperson and Minister for Petroleum Industries Anura Priyadharshana Yapa.
Responding to Champika Ranawaka's call to abolish the 13th Amendment, Yapa said any constitutional changes would only be through a Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC).
“I can assure you that the government has not taken a decision to make any changes to the existing legislative procedure in respect of Provincial Councils. President Rajapaksa has clearly stated that the elections to the Northern PC would be held in September and therefore the status quo remains"
