Mangalan Master is the nom de guerre of a candidate for the TMVP contesting Polonnaruwa District for the United People's Freedom Alliance in Sri Lanka.[1] He is a former LTTE cadre, third in line for TMVP leadership after defecting to the party of Colonel Karuna[2] and a staunch Karuna partisan during intra-TMVP feuds.[3] The LTTE made an attempt on his life with claymore bombs in 2005.[4]
