A week after the May 6 election, Sri Lankan parties are trying to stitch together coalitions to run the local councils.
Out of the 338 local councils which went to polls, the ruling National People’s Power (NPP), came first in 265. However, in 120 councils, the opposition parties together have more members elected than from the ruling party.
It is for these 120 councils, that the opposition parties are trying to come together to form council administrations.
