Manameldura Piyadasa de Zoysa (born 1910) was a Ceylonese politician.[1]
De Zoysa was involved in Sri Lankan politics before the country's independence and was associated with the State Council of Ceylon established under the Donoughmore Constitution.[2]
In 1956 he was elected to Parliament in the seat of Ambalangoda-Balapitiya, representing the Mahajana Eksath Peramuna.[3] In 1959 he was appointed the Minister of Labour in the cabinet of W. Dahanayake.[4][5]
At the Parliamentary elections in March 1960 he was elected in the seat of Rathgama,[6] retaining the seat in the subsequent elections in July that year.[7] De Zoysa subsequently resigned from the seat in late 1960 following his implication in the Thalagodapitiya Bribery Commission. He later accepted a position in the Senate of Ceylon, replacing G. P. Wickramarachchi.[8][9]
