Business magnate and former MP Dhammika Perera has re-joined the boards of Hayleys PLC and Vallibel PLC, marking his return to the corporate world after a brief foray into politics.
Hayleys PLC announced his appointment as Non-Executive Director and Co-Chairman, a position he previously held, while Vallibel PLC is expected to follow suit.
Perera, the largest shareholder of both conglomerates, had resigned from various boards over two years ago to serve as a National List MP for the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).
His return signals a departure from political aspirations, including his previously considered bid for the presidency, which he withdrew from prior to the 2024 election.
