Mary Connie Livuza Mpanga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mary Connie Livuza Mpanga is a politician in Malawi.[1]

Life

[edit]

Mpanga was first elected in 2009 and she is a member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).[2]

Mpanga represents Phalombe South in the National Assembly of Malawi.[3] In 2024 she was an opposition MP when she was unanimously appointed to be a Parliamentary Service Commissioner.[4] This was a sign of support as the same group had rejected fellow DPP nominated Lonnie Chijere Phiri for the same role.[5] Mpanga's appointment made the commission to be 50% women.[4]

Mpanga had been identified by Parliament's First Deputy Madalitso Kazombo as a "respectable female parliamentarian" together with Lilian Patel and Roseby Gadama in September 2024.[6]
