News Today: Former MP Ranjan Ramanayake’s civic rights to be restored soon

Former MP Ranjan Ramanayake’s civic rights are set to be restored soon. Ramanayake informed reporters that he was summoned to the President’s office, where he was asked to provide the necessary documents to restore his rights. Ramanayake approached the National People’s Power (NPP) leadership, and they responded positively to his request. He also mentioned contacting President Anura Kumara Dissanayake regarding the matter.

Ramanayake was previously barred from contesting elections and lost his right to vote due to his conviction. When asked if he would contest as an NPP candidate once his civic rights are restored, Ramanayake declined to comment, stating that it was too early to discuss his political plans. His potential return to active politics has drawn significant public interest, and the restoration of his rights is expected to be a noteworthy event in Sri Lanka’s political landscape.
