Timeline
Wickremanayake died on 25 May 1989, at the age of 74.
Wickremanayake controversially switched political allegiances from the LSSP becoming a member of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. At the 6th parliamentary election, held on 22 March 1965, she contested the Avissawella electorate, challenging one of the LSSP's founders and the sitting member, Philip Gunawardena. She lost by 11,327 votes to Gunawardena, only securing 33% of the total vote.
At the 4th parliamentary election, held on 19 March 1960, Wickramanayake ran for the seat of Dehiowita, representing the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP). The sitting LSSP member for Dehiowita, Edmund Samarakkody, choosing to run in the Kesbewa electorate instead. Wickramanayake was elected, polling 6,606 votes (37% of the total vote), only 546 votes ahead of the United National Party candidate, A. F. Wijemanne. The election results however left neither of Ceylon's two major parties with a majority, with the result being the calling of another election. She was subsequently re-elected at the 5th parliamentary election held on 20 July 1960. This time receiving 8,593 votes (50% of the total vote) and 603 votes ahead of Wijemanne. She was one of only three female representatives elected to Parliament at that time.
