Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga has been removed from her post as the electorate organizer of Attanagalle.

Attanagalle has remained a stronghold of the Bandaranaike family for close to eight decades.

The decision was reached by the Executive Committee of the party, SLFP General Secretary Dayasiri Jayasekera said.

Kumaratunga, however, continues to be a Patron of the SLFP.
