Samarasinghe was not immediately available for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The ex MP was elected from the island nation\u2019s Western coastal district of Kalutara in the 2020 parliamentary poll. He polled the least preferential votes out of the eight SLPP legislators elected to parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kalutara district SLPP candidate Wadduwage Manju Lalith Varna Kumara is next in the list to succeed Samarasinghe, a party source said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Before his resignation, Samarasinghe was on a three month leave from parliament that was approved by the legislature. He has attended only 48 parliament sessions out of a total 93 so far held since the 2020 election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Before joining politics, he was in the foreign service and served as the first secretary to the Sri Lanka High Commission in Australia as well as a counselor for the Sri Lankan Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva during the 1980s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Samarasinghe entered active politics in 1988 and was elected to the parliament in 1994 under center-right United National Party (UNP). He crossed over to the then government side in 2006, joining the ranks of the center-left Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He had served as minister of Labour, Disaster Management, Plantation, Skills Development, as well as Ports and Shilling in his parliamentary career. He, as Port Minister, signed the Chinese-built $1.5 billion Hambantota port deal to be handed over to China in 2018 on a 99-year lease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Samarasinghe is the third SLPP legislator to resign from the parliament since July.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Already Jayantha Ketagoda resigned to make way for Basil Rajapaksa, younger brother of both president and prime minister, to become the finance minister in July. Last week, Ajith Nivard Cabraal resigned to take up the position of central bank governor at the request of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Samarasinghe defected from the Rajapaksa camp after the 2015 presidential poll defeat and joined former president Maithripala Sirisena. He lost the parliamentary election later in 2015, but Sirisena appointed him under the national list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Samarasinghe\u2019s name was\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/wikileaks.org\/plusd\/cables\/07COLOMBO176_a.html\">in the Wikileaks quoted by then US ambassador to Colombo Robert Blake<\/a>\u00a0in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The cable said Samarasinghe had expressed concern that the President and his two brothers have rendered his human rights and humanitarian access efforts ineffective and that he would not sacrifice his political career to become \u201cpart of a white wash\u201d for the Government of Sri Lanka\u2019s (GSL) recent human rights violations.
