Tamil National Alliance candidates from Jaffna will canvass support for their colleagues contesting the April polls in the east while TNA candidates from the east will campaign in the north for the victory of the alliance, Mr. Mavai Senathirajah, the general secretary of the Federal Party, said Saturday.

Speaking to the Jaffna press at the TNA office on Martin Road in the northern town Saturday, Mr. Senathirajah said the program is intended to strengthen Tamil national solidarity.

He said that a TNA delegation is scheduled to meet officials of the LTTE’s political division in Kilinochchi tomorrow (Sunday) for discussions about the forthcoming general elections - particularly regarding arrangements to enable people in LTTE held areas to vote freely.

The delegation will meet the Commissioner of Elections on Monday, according to him.
