Observers from 8 nations to monitor Sri Lankan polls

Sri Lanka invites observers from eight countries for the November 14 parliamentary elections.

The Sri Lankan Election Commission has invited observers from at least eight countries who will be monitoring the general elections next month, a media report stated on Wednesday.

Parliamentary elections will be held on November 14 across the country.

Chairman R M A L Ratnayake stated that these observers will come from regional countries, Russia, the Commonwealth, and the European Union to oversee the election proceedings.

News portal NewsFirst.lk said observers from the Asian Network for Free Elections will also be present to monitor the general election activities.

A similar group of observers was invited for last month's Presidential polls.

Meanwhile, all major political parties in the country are shortlisting candidates and attempting to forge new alliances.

The filing of nominations for the polls will close on October 11.
