Former minister Kanchana Wijesekera has been nominated to serve as a National List Member of Parliament for the New Democratic Front (NDF). The decision comes after careful consideration of multiple requests from various stakeholders, cementing his place as the party’s second National List MP.
In the 2024 general election, the NDF secured two positions on the National List. One of these positions has already been filled by Ravi Karunanayake, a prominent figure in the party. With Wijesekera’s nomination, the NDF completes its allocation of National List appointments.
Kanchana Wijesekera, a notable political figure and former minister, brings significant experience to the parliamentary seat. His nomination is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the party’s representation and address key policy areas in the legislature.
The appointment is expected to enhance the party’s legislative focus, with both Karunanayake and Wijesekera playing pivotal roles in advancing the NDF’s agenda in Parliament.
