Popular YouTube personality Ashen Senarathna to contest polls

05 Oct, 2024

Popular YouTube personality Ashen Senarathna is to contest the upcoming Parliament elections.

Senarathna said that he believes he has what it takes to work for the people of Sri Lanka.

The YouTube personality, who promoted Ranil Wickremesinghe at the last Presidential Election, is to contest from Colombo.

In 2020 Senarathna had expressed regret over his decision to promote Sajith Premadasa at the 2019 Presidential election as a result of which he lost everything he had at the time.

Senarathna had said that he did not make a cent by openly backing Premadasa and eventually had to close his popular YouTube channel.

During the 2019 Presidential election campaign Senarathna confronted musician Iraj Weeraratne who supported Gotabaya Rajapaksa?s bid to be elected President. (Colombo Gazette)
