Timeline
Harin Fernando, MP (born 28 October 1978) is a Sri Lankan politician, Cabinet Minister and Member of Parliament.
He is the current Minister of Tourism and Lands as well as the Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs.
He previously served as the Minister of Sports before, as well as the Telecommunication, Digital Infrastructure Facilities, Foreign Employment, and Tourism ministers in previous Sri Lankan governments.
He was the 7th Chief Minister of Uva Province.
Born in Wattala to a Roman Catholic family, Fernando was educated at St. Joseph's College, Colombo.
Fernando married Ravindani Yashendra Dias in 2003.
They have had two children, Nikhel Joshue Chethiya Fernando and Naiara Chaithika Fernando.
Fernando was appointed as the United National Party (UNP) electoral organizer for Badulla District when he was only 27 and won the highest number of votes in the Uva Provincial Council Election in 2005.
He was elected as a Member of Parliament for the Badulla District in 2010 and resigned on 5 August 2014 to contest as candidate for Chief Minister of Uva Province.
Even though Fernando won the highest number of preferential votes, the UNP lost in Uva Provincial Council elections.
Fernando became the leader of the opposition in the Uva Provincial Council.
Fernando played a critical role in President Mahinda Rajapaksa's defeat in the 2015 presidential elections, after Rajapaksa called for an early election where the UPFA won narrowly at the Uva Provincial Council elections.
Fernando had strongly criticised the Rajapaksa regime for its corruption, authoritarian rule and rise of lawlessness.
Harin's criticisms significantly reduced Rajapaksa's popularity in Badulla and Monaragala.
Soon after the elections, a number of UPFA provincial councillors backed Fernando, thus giving the UNP a majority in the Uva provincial council.
He was sworn in as Chief Minister of Uva Province before the Governor and succeeded Shasheendra Rajapaksa.
In August 2015, Fernando was elected to parliament, gaining the highest votes in the Badulla District.
Shortly afterwards he was appointed as Cabinet Minister of Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructure.
Fernando criticized Facebook for being too slow to combat social media users who had used Facebook and WhatsApp to plan and facilitate the anti-Muslim riots in Sri Lanka.
On 20 May 2022, amidst the 2022 Sri Lankan protests and political crisis, Fernando was sworn in as the Minister of Tourism and Lands and officially became a member of the Rajapaksa-Wickremesinghe led cabinet, against the wishes of his own party, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).
Both ministers would later resign from their ministerial portfolios on 9 July 2022, but would again be reappointed to their same positions by President Ranil Wickremesinghe on 22 July 2022.
A year later, on 18 July 2023, the Working Committee of the SJB expelled Harin Fernando and Manusha Nanayakkara from the party.
Shortly afterwards, on 2 August 2023, Fernando and Nanayakkara were readmitted into the United National Party by the party's working committee.
