VIDEO: Vigneswaran receives CM appointment letter
Mobitel inner 1278

Former Supreme Court judge C.V. Vigneswaran received his Chief Ministerial appointment letter from the Northern Province Governor, the TNA stated.

Vigneswaran, who obtained the highest preference votes in the Jaffna District with a total of 132,255 votes, was named unanimously by the 28 TNA candidates who were elected for the Northern Provincial Council during a special meeting.

All TNA parliamentarians participated in the gathering held at a private hotel in Jaffna on September 23.

The Tamil National Alliance, which is registered as Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK), won a landslide victory in a landmark election in the battle-scarred North, securing 30 out of 38 seats in polls for the provincial council in the former war zone.

The TNA swept all five districts in the election for the Northern Provincial Council, the first for 26 years.

Canagasabapathy Viswalingam Vigneswaran, a retired Supreme Court Judge, was nominated as the Chief Ministerial candidate for the Northern Provincial Council polls in July.
