Election's Commissioner leaving of the island leaves Maithripala Sirisena in the Lurch!

Mahinda Deshapriya the elections commissioner has left the country this morning & will return to the island only on the 1st of December. This has left the Common Opposition Candidate's official Symbol which was to be either the Pigeon or Lotus confirmation in limbo. News reports state the EC's trip was unavoidable. Common Opposition Candidates Party "Apey Jathika Peramuna" (Our National Front) was registered by UNP Parliamentarian Mangala Samaraweera when he broke away from UPFA. It's official symbol was The Telephone. The organisers of "Apey Jathika Peramuna" was not happy with the telephone as its official symbol. Therefore they had requested a change of logo from EC.
