Ganepola Arachchige Duleep Pandula Perera Wijesekera (born 5 February 1966) is a Sri Lankan politician. He is a former member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka for the Gampaha District who belonged to the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA).[1]
Wijesekara briefly served as the Deputy Minister of Disaster Management in the Parliament of Sri Lanka, until he was removed from this position by president Maithripala Sirisena on 29 October 2017.[2] The next day, Wijesekara attempted to cross over to the opposition, however, the crossover was not valid since the meeting in the parliament was a committee meeting and not a regular parliament sitting day.[3]
