Supreme Court Rules Minister Diana Gamage Ineligible for Parliament Membership

Date:

May 08, Colombo (LNW): The Supreme Court has declared that Minister of State for Tourism, Diana Gamage, lacks the necessary legal qualifications to hold a seat in Sri Lanka’s Parliament.

The ruling comes following a petition filed by social media activist Oshala Herath, with the verdict announced today (08).

Previously, Herath had petitioned the Court of Appeal, arguing that Diana Gamage, being a British citizen, is ineligible for a parliamentary position in Sri Lanka. However, the Court of Appeal dismissed the petition.

Undeterred, Herath pursued an appeal before the Supreme Court, contesting the Court of Appeal’s decision. Today’s announcement marks the culmination of this legal battle.
