Anuruddha Ranasinghe Arachchige Roshan (born 25 October 1975) is a Sri Lankan politician, former Cabinet Minister, and member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka. He belongs to the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna.[1] He served as the Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs and Minister of Irrigation, serving simultaneously from May 23, 2022, until his dismissal on November 27, 2023.[2]

He is an old boy of Vidyartha College, Kandy and the founder and Chairman of Euronippon Group of Companies.

Political career

On 27 November 2023, Ranasinghe was removed from his cabinet portfolios of Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs and Minister of Irrigation by President Ranil Wickremesinghe. His removal came after Ranasinghe accused Ranil Wickremesinghe of attempting to frame him when he spoke against corruption in Sri Lanka Cricket.[3] The parliament supported Ranasinghe in his plight of fight against corruption by passing a unanimous but non-binding resolution three weeks earlier.[4]

In 2024, Ranasinghe announced that he would contest in the upcoming presidential elections. This would make him one of two former ministers in President Wickremesinghe's cabinet to run against him, the other being Minister of Justice Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe.[5]
