Roland Stephen Tennekoon was an elected member of both the 1st and 2nd State Councils of Ceylon.[1]

Roland Stephen Tennekoon attended Trinity College, Kandy, where in 1904 he was awarded Ryde Gold Medal, as the "best all-round boy" at the school.[2][3]

Tennekoon, a proctor, was elected to the State Council on 20 June 1931, representing Katugampola as a member of the Labour Party.[1][4][5]

On 3 March 1936, following his successful re-election to the State Council he was elected as Deputy Chairman of Committees.[6][7][8]
