The annual budget of the Kolonna Pradeshiya Sabha, which is controlled by the National People’s Power (NPP), has been defeated for the second time.

A total of nine councilors voted in favour of the budget while 10 members opposed the proposal, Ada Derana reporter said.

At the commencement of today’s council meeting, a seat rearrangement based on seniority was carried out, which led to heated exchanges within the council.

As a result, a group of opposition members staged a protest.

The Kolonna Pradeshiya Sabha consists of nine members of the NPP, five members of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), three members of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), one member of the United National Party (UNP) and one member of the ‘Sarvajana Balaya’.
