Eraj Ravindra Fernando was the Mayor of Hambantota.
Eraj was educated at Nalanda College, Colombo.
In April 2014 a group of five United National Party politicians whilst visiting the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport on a fact-finding tour, were allegedly attacked by local residents. In August 2019 Fernando was found guilty of threatening the politicians with a firearm and was sentenced to five years imprisonment. In October 2019 he was granted bail by the Hambantota High Court. Fernando is currently seeking a review of his conviction in the Court of Appeal.
