She has asked that she be given Kolonnawa, the electorate of her late father.

The incumbent organizer for Kolonnawa is MP Duminda Silva.

During talks in the past few days, consideration has been given to appoint Hirunika to Kolonnawa and to give Avissawella to Duminda, reliable sources say.

Hirunika was appointed to the SLFP central committee following ill will between her and top officials of the party.
