Independent parliamentary candidate Paul Wongani Ng’oma is leading in unofficial results from Ntcheu Central Constituency. Ng’oma, the son of Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, garnered strong support in early tallies, including 116 votes at Chitungu Primary School Polling Centre and 68 votes at Ntcheu Prison Polling Station . These results, though not yet official, indicate a significant lead for Ng’oma in the constituency.
The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has yet to announce official outcomes, as it has up to 14 days to publish parliamentary results.
Ng’oma, who campaigned on a platform of economic empowerment, improved educational infrastructure, and better access to clean water, emphasized his commitment to addressing poverty and hunger in the region during a recent speech at Beni Kadzilawa Ground.
Ntcheu Central, previously a traditional stronghold, was subdivided into multiple constituencies by MEC ahead of the elections, with five parliamentary seats now at stake.
As vote counting continues, all parties are urged to respect the legal process and await MEC’s official announcement.
