Commonwealth happy about the conduct of Presidential polls
Commonwealth election monitors have said that the Presidential election was a well administered poll. Commonwealth Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma yesterday released the Final Report of the Commonwealth team which observed the recently concluded Presidential poll.
The Secretary General was encouraged by the report's finding that the administrative arrangements for voting and counting were well conducted. He said the Commissioner of Elections and his staff across the country expended great effort to put in place procedures to ensure that Sri Lankans were able to cast their ballots.
The Commonwealth Secretary General also expressed the hope that Sri Lanka will move towards political and social reconciliation in the aftermath of the first post-conflict polls and in the lead-up to the forthcoming Parliamentary elections.
Before being made public, the report was distributed among the President of Sri Lanka, leaders of all political parties, the Commissioner of Elections and all Commonwealth Governments.
