News Today: Ashen Senarathna’s nomination rejected due to Election Act rule breach

Popular YouTuber Ashen Senarathna’s independent group’s nomination was recently rejected by the Election Commission (EC) due to non-compliance with the Election Act. According to the EC, the nomination papers were submitted by an unauthorized individual, which led to the disqualification of the group.

Senarathna expressed deep frustration over the decision, explaining that although he was present at the location, he was asked to remain outside while another candidate attempted to submit the necessary documents. This action, according to Senarathna, directly violated the protocol, and he is now planning to take legal action against the Election Commission to challenge their decision.
