Democratic Progressive Party Regional Governor in the North, Kenneth Sanga is planning to contest as Member of Parliament for Mzuzu City in the forthcoming 2019 polls.
Sanga disclosed this in an interview with Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Stringer based in Mzuzu on Thursday.
“My candidature to contest in Mzuzu is demand-driven. I have been approached by the committees in the city, having loved the party throughout. I am one of those staunch supporters of the DPP,” said Sanga.
