Former Minister Kanchana Wijesekera has ruled out any possibility of returning to politics, stating that he has moved on from political life and is satisfied with his current career in the corporate sector.

In a social media post marking two years since he contested the Parliamentary Election on November 14, 2024, Wijesekera reflected on his political journey and his transition into the corporate world.

He said that although the election result was not what he had hoped for, contesting the election marked an important chapter in his life. He added that he brought his political involvement and all related activities to an end a month later.

Wijesekera also expressed gratitude to those who supported, guided and worked alongside him during his time in public service, saying he remained proud of the contribution he had made to the country.

According to the former minister, it has been 23 months since he began transitioning from politics to the corporate sector. What initially started as a part-time engagement has since developed into a full-time professional commitment, which he said he genuinely enjoys.

Reflecting on his new lifestyle, Wijesekera said the transition had allowed him to spend more quality time with his family, focus on his health and fitness, travel, enjoy greater privacy and pursue new professional and personal interests.

He added that his current career had also provided opportunities to gain knowledge and experience across various industries and sectors.

"I have moved on from politics, and I have no intention or interest in returning to political life or political activity," he stated, reaffirming his satisfaction with the career path he had chosen.

Meanwhile, November 14 also holds personal significance for Wijesekera, as it marks the 84th birth anniversary of his late father.

Remembering his father on the first birthday anniversary since his passing, the former minister said he would forever remain in the hearts of his family.

Describing the day as one of remembrance, reflection and gratitude, Wijesekera noted that every chapter in life serves a purpose, with some offering valuable lessons, shaping individuals and preparing them for entirely new journeys.
