Background
After Central and Northwestern Provincial Councils were dissolved state property has been widely used for election campaigning. CaFFE informed bout this phenomenon to the governors of Central and Northwestern provinces, Tikiri Kobbekaduwa and Tissa R Balalla. In addition the Department of Elections issued several circulars requesting authorities to reacquire the state properties being used for campaign purposes. However the misuse of state property remained unabated and several candidates used vehicles owned by the provincial council to hand in their nominations.
