Popular actress Nadeesha Hemamali who was to stand in for the Southern provincial council from Galle district under United National Party (UNP) ticket , has singed the nomination paper today (04) to contest from Matara district following the request made by the party leadership.
The reason behind presenting Nadeesha
from Matara is, the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) decision to
present the former southern provincial councilor and popular actress
Anarkali Akarsha from Matara, who previously represented Galle district ,
report ' Sirikotha' sources.
The UNP Matara district leader
parliamentarian Mangala Samaraweera has agreed to present Nadeesha from
Matara following the request made by the party leadership.
It is significant that it was also MP
Mangala Samaraweera who introduced Anarkali Akarsha to politics. When MP
Samaraweera served as the Foreign Minister Anarkali was employed in his
personal staff.

Minister Dulles Alahapperuma was also introduced to politics by MP
Mangala Samaraweera presenting him from Matara district for the
provincial council election. Minister Alahapperuma is the current UPFA
leader of Matara district.
