Rupa Sriyani Daniel (born 24 December 1951) was a Sri Lankan politician.[1]
On 18 April 1982 her brother, Mahahitana Arachchige, resigned his seat in parliament, following inquiries relating to his involvement in alleged gold-smuggling activities. Daniel was subsequently appointed by the United National Party as his replacement,[2][3] and sworn in as the member for Hewaheta on 21 July.[4] At the 1989 Sri Lankan parliamentary election she was appointed as a National List member of parliament, serving from 15 February 1989 until 24 June 1994.[5]
At the 3rd Central provincial council election, held on 6 April 1999, Daniel was elected as one of the United National Party candidates to the Central Province Council.[6] She was re-elected at 4th Central provincial council election, held on 10 July 2004.
