The election to fill the vacant position of Anunayake of the Asgiri Chapter will be held today (August 28) at 2.00 PM at the historic ‘Pohoyage’ of the Asgiri Maha Viharaya in Kandy.
The election will be conducted under the patronage of the Mahanayaka Thero of the Asgiri Chapter, Most Venerable Warakagoda Sri Gnanarathana Thero.
A total of 19 members of the ‘Asgiri Karaka Maha Sangha Sabha’ are eligible to vote in this election.
