He had also stepped down as the SJB Deputy Secretary, Senasinghe said.

He unsuccessfully contested the Aug 05 general election from the Colombo district on SJB ticket.
Senasinghe commenced his political career as a member of the Western Provincial Council of the UNP. He was elected to Parliament twice from the same party.
He earned notoriety by publishing a book denying the bond scam ever took place.
