The Court of Appeal has lifted the interim injunction that had previously halted the conduct of Local Government Elections for 18 local government bodies, including the Colombo Municipal Council (CMC).
The decision was delivered today (April 11), clearing the way for elections to proceed for these councils. The interim order had initially been issued due to legal challenges, but the court has now allowed the electoral process to continue.
The elections are expected to be held on May 6, following this ruling.
