Vajira Srimathi Dissanayake ({{lang-si|වජිර ශ්‍රීමති දිසානායක|translit=Vajira Śrīmati Disānāyaka}}; 1943 – 29 March 2019) was a Sri Lankan lawyer, politician and presidential candidate.

Early life and family

Dissanayake was born in 1943.[1]{{Efn|Another source gives Dissanayake's year of birth as 1941.[2]}} She was the daughter of Piyasena Lenaduwa from Galle in southern Ceylon.[2] She was educated at Ladies' College, Colombo.[2]

After school Dissanayake joined Ceylon Law College where she met her future husband Gamini Dissanayake.[2][3] They had two sons, Navin and Mayantha, both of whom are Members of Parliament, and a daughter, Varuni.[4][5]

Career

Dissanayake was a lawyer by profession and was a member of the Central Provincial Council.[6][7] Her husband Gamini Dissanayake, who was the Leader of the Opposition, was chosen by the United National Party to be its candidate at the 1994 presidential election.[8] However, he was killed in a suicide bombing on 24 October 1994, sixteen days before the election.[9] The UNP, hoping to capitalise on the sympathy vote, chose Srima Dissanayake over former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and former first lady Hema Premadasa to be Gamini Dissanayake’s replacement.[10] However, many UNP officials refused to campaign for Srima Dissanayake who, for security reasons, campaigned through the media only.[9][11] Dissanayake was heavily defeated by Prime Minister Chandrika Kumaratunga who swept the polls, winning in all but one of the 160 polling divisions.[12] Dissanayake received 2,715,283 votes (35.91%), the lowest share for a major party candidate in any Sri Lankan presidential election.[13][14]

Dissanayake left politics thereafter and devoted herself to her family, the Gamini Dissanayake Foundation and the Gamini Dissanayake Institute of Technology and Vocational Studies.[2][15]

Dissanayake died at a private hospital in Colombo on 29 March 2019.[16][17]
