Pradeshiya Sabha elections were held in Elpitiya on 26 October 2024 to elect 30 members to the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha.[3]

National People's Power (NPP) emerged as the largest party, winning 15 out of 30 seats and securing 47.64% of the vote share.[1] On 8 November 2024, the Election Commission of Sri Lanka confirmed the appointments of NPP's Kolamba Thanthreege Nishantha Perera as chairman and Wagoda Pathirage Sumith Chandana as vice chairman of the Pradeshiya Sabha.[2][4]

Background

The 2019 Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha election, held on 11 October 2019, saw a high voter turnout of 78.86%, with the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) winning 56.31% of the vote (17 wards). The United National Front (UNF) followed with 24.37%, while the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) and Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) received 12.71% and 5.87%, respectively.[5][6]

Continuous political and administrative challenges were experienced by the council, with its term coming to an end on 6 March 2024. The council's budget was rejected four times, and a special commissioner was appointed under the Provincial Council Act.[7][8]

On 12 September 2024, the Election Commission announced that the Elpitiya Pradeshiya Sabha election would take place on 26 October 2024.[9][10] Nominations for the election were open from 9 to 12 September 2024, following the election deposit period, which commenced on 26 August and concluded on 11 September 2024.[11]

Contesting parties

A total of nine recognised political parties and two independent groups submitted nominations; however, only the nominations of eight political parties and one independent group were accepted. Thus, 279 candidates from these eight political parties and one independent group contested in the election.[3]
