Sameera Danushka de Silva from the Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB) has been gazetted as the new Chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha, filling the vacancy created by the death of former Chairman Lasantha Wickramasekera.
Lasantha Wickramasekara was elected as the Chairman of the Weligama Pradeshiya Sabha (PS), following a closely contested vote on July 24.
Wickramasekara secured the chairmanship after the SJB clinched victory in a 23-22 vote against the National People’s Power (NPP).
However, Wickramasekera, also known as ‘Midigama Lasa,’ died on October 22 following a gun attack inside his office in broad daylight.
