Chunga was born about 1991. She said that she learned about political issues while listening to people talking at her mother's hair salon.[1]
In 2023 Chunga was the national secretary for the Muslim women National Dawah when they organised a national gathering of Muslims in Lilongwe. The message of addressing climate change was backed by the first lady Monica Chakwera.[2]
In 2025 she stood as an independent candidate in the national elections and she enjoyed the support of NGO's including Oxfam.[1] She was successful and she was elected to represent the Lilongwe Kamphuno Constituency on 16 September.[3][4]
Following the election her victory was declared by the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) despite the protests of Clement Mwale who was a losing candidate. His case resulted in the case of Mwale v Chunga & MEC. He alleged that Chunga committed a number of offences including bribing voters and campaigning after she should have stopped on 15 September. The judge, Fiona Atupele Mwale rejected Mwale's petition.[3]
