32nd Commemoration of Late President Ranasinghe Premadasa held today(1)

The solemn event marked the anniversary of President Premadasa’s assassination on May 1, 1993. The ceremony was held under the patronage of Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, the late President's son, and Hema Premadasa, his widow. Several family members, political figures, and supporters were also in attendance.

Floral tributes were offered at the memorial, and a moment of silence was observed in honor of the late leader, who served as Sri Lanka’s President from 1989 until his untimely death in a suicide bombing during a May Day rally in Colombo.

The commemoration served as a reminder of President Premadasa's contributions to national development, poverty alleviation, and housing programs, which left a lasting impact on the country.
