Elections after economic recovery - Manusha

COLOMBO (News 1st): Minister Manusha Nanayakkara has hinted that elections are likely to take place next year, when Sri Lanka is relieved from the state of bankruptcy.

He said that as Sri Lanka moves out of bankruptcy status next year, international agencies, including the IMF will further support the country.

He said the amendments that have been presented to address the economic situation in Sri Lanka must be carried forward, to achieve the necessary results. 

He warned that if elections are held by promising the people free goods, it would do more harm than good to the country.
