UNP General Secretary Akila Viraj Kariyawasam said the Provincial Council election would not be held before the next Presidential election.

Kariyawasam added that the Presidential election was the only way to resolve the prevailing political uncertainty in the country.

The UNP General Secretary added it was pointless to talk about holding the Provincial Council election before the Presidential election.

Speaking to Asian Mirror, a senior member of the SLPP also added that his party was in favour of holding the Presidential election before the PC election.
