The Legacy | The Death of Sirimavo Bandaranike - World's First Women Prime Minister

Sirimavo Bandaranaike ( සිරිමාවෝ රත්වත්තේ ඩයස් බණ්ඩාරනායක), commonly known as Sirimavo Bandaranaike, aka Mathini (මැතිණි). She was a Sri Lankan politician. She was the world's first female prime minister when she became Prime Minister of Sri Lanka (then the Dominion of Ceylon) in 1960. She chaired the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) from 1960 to 1994 and served three terms as prime minister, two times as the chief executive, from 1960 to 1965 and from 1970 to 1977, and once again in a presidential system from 1994 to 2000, governing under the presidency of her daughter Chandrika Kumaratunga.
She passed away on October 10, 2000, at the age of 84. Her death marked the end of an era in Sri Lankan politics, as she had served the country for decades, both as a leader and a figure of national importance. She died on the same day after casting her vote in the parliamentary election. Her legacy remains in the strong foundations she built for the country in terms of social welfare, foreign relations, and national independence.

අපේ රටේ බිහිවුණ එකම පිරිමි පාලකයා ඔබතුමිය 🙏🏻 ඒ දැවැන්ත ශක්තිය කියලා නිම කිරීමට නොහැකිය. අද පාලකයෝ රටේ දේ විකුණා දමන විට මෙතුමිය ඉන්දියාවේ දුපතක් වුණා කාච්චතිව් පවා ලංකාවට ගත්තා. නිවන් සුව ලැබේවා! ❤
