Information has been circulating on social media claiming that actor Rajitha Hiran Chamikara has been appointed as the Kesbewa Constituency Organizer for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).

These posts suggest that Rajitha Hiran was appointed to the position which became vacant following the passing of former Minister Gamini Lokuge. The information was shared alongside videos showing Rajitha Hiran warmly welcoming several women at an event and another scene where he is seen sitting and taking notes.

Social media users expressed various opinions on this information; while some believed it to be true, others questioned its credibility.

FactSeeker investigated to verify this information.

Accordingly, an investigation into the event confirmed that Ajith Naragala has been appointed as the Kesbewa Constituency Organizer for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).

Furthermore, Ajith Naragala shared photos of his swearing-in ceremony on his official Facebook page.

He also posted a clarification on his Facebook page stating that the information circulating on social media regarding actor Rajitha Hiran Chamikara’s appointment as the SLPP Kesbewa Organizer is false.

Additionally, Hiru TV news also broadcasted that Ajith Naragala has been appointed as the SLPP Kesbewa Constituency Organizer.

The Reality: Upon analyzing the circulated videos, actress Anusha Damayanthi and actor Arjun Kamalanath were seen giving statements to the media at the same event. They clarified that they attended the event to congratulate Ajith Naragala on his appointment as the Kesbewa Constituency Organizer. Actor Rajitha Hiran Chamikara was also present at the event.

Moreover, in the widely shared photo, Rajitha Hiran is seen writing in a commemorative book kept at the party office. This act led to the spread of false information suggesting he had been appointed.

To further confirm the details, FactSeeker contacted Sanjeeva Edirimanna, the media spokesperson for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna. He confirmed that Ajith Naragala is the one appointed as the Kesbewa Constituency Organizer. He also explained that the videos being shared were taken during the opening of a party office in Piliyandala, an event attended by several artists, including Rajitha Hiran Chamikara.

Conclusion: FactSeeker confirms that actor Rajitha Hiran Chamikara has not been appointed as the Kesbewa Constituency Organizer for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna. The information circulating on social media regarding this is false.
