The Election Commission of Sri Lanka on Friday formally announced that the local body elections will not be held on March 9 as planned and a fresh date will be notified on March 3. The announcement was made after deliberations among the Election Commission officials on Friday, a day after the cash-strapped-hit country’s top court postponed hearing a petition against the holding of the polls until May.
