Life
Mpanga was first elected in 2009 and she became a member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). She is a member of the Malawi Parliamentary Women's Caucus.[2]
Mpanga was an independent MP but following the 2019 election she was among a group of MPs including Naomi Phiri who agreed to support the Democratic Progressive Party.[3] She represents Phalombe South in the National Assembly of Malawi.[4]
In 2024 she was an opposition MP when she was unanimously appointed to be a Parliamentary Service Commissioner.[5] This was a sign of support as the same group had rejected fellow DPP nominated Lonnie Chijere Phiri for the same role.[6] Mpanga's appointment made the commission to be 50% women.[5]
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.[7]
