Nickson Chilangwa (born 10 January 1969) is a Zambian politician who served as the Member of Parliament for Kawambwa Constituency in Luapula Province from 2011 to 2024.[1] He is a member of the Patriotic Front and served as the Provincial Minister for Luapula Province from 2016 to 2021.[1]
Political career
Chilangwa was elected to the National Assembly of Zambia in three consecutive elections (2011, 2016 and 2021), representing Kawambwa under the Patriotic Front.[1] He served as the Provincial Minister for Luapula Province from 2016 to 2021,[1] where he was involved in infrastructure development, energy projects, and resource mobilization for local government initiatives.[2]
During his tenure, Chilangwa was noted for advocating the use of local natural resources for regional development and strengthening ties with investors.[2]
Controversies
In the aftermath of the 2021 general election, during the Patriotic Front's transition to opposition, Chilangwa was mentioned in various political controversies. In 2022, he was briefly detained in connection with post-election political tensions but was later released without formal charges.[3] He was then charged with malicious damage to property among other charges and was found guilty, which resulted in him forfeiting his Kawambwa parliamentary seat in late 2024.[4][5][6]
