Election Commission Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya today appealed to political parties and candidates contesting in the Parliamentary Election to halt all campaign activities and concentrate on the programs to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

He said all election propaganda activities that cause division among the people must be immediately stopped and everyone must pay heed to the programs in place to control COVID -19.

Any meeting to consider the new date of the election will be after 20 April and that too would depend on the evolving situation in the country, Deshapriya said in a statement.
