User:Shamal6789/Colombo West Electorate

Colombo West Electorate was one of the electorates in Sri Lanka between July 1977 and February 1989. This electoral district is named after the city of Colombo in the Colombo District of the Western Province. This district was formed in July 1977 by dividing the Colombo South electorate into Colombo East and Colombo West electorates. The 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka introduced the system of proportional representation for the election of Members of Parliament. The then largely single-member constituencies were replaced by 160 multi-member constituencies, replacing 160. In the 1989 general election, the first election held under proportional representation, the Colombo West electorate was replaced by the Colombo multi-member electorate, but Colombo West continues to be a constituency within the multi-member electorate.
