Hugh Fernando
Warnakulasuriya Ichchampullige Hugh Fernando (17 November 1916 -2 April 1993) was a Sri Lankan politician born in Nainamadama. He was the Speaker of the Sri Lankan Parliament. In 1952 he contested Nattandiya electorate as an independent candidate and lost to former speaker Albert Peries by 306 votes. Hugh was determined to defeat Peries in the next elections. By keeping to the proverb "failures are the pillars of success" he organised well in the electorate. He started workers' unions and many other societies and thereby strengthened his power.
