 Neno - East

Since the 2009 election both constituencies have been held by members of the Democratic Progressive Party.^[2]

In 2025 Neno South was represented by Mutani Tambala.^[3] She was elected to parliament at the same time as Mary Maulidi Khembo also became a Democratic Progressive Party MP. Khembo was elected in a newly formed constituency Neno East after demarcstions. Thoko Tembo on the other hand retained his seat in Neno North making him the first ever MP to be reelected in Neno North. He won with 86% mandate. He is currently the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, irrigations and water development. Activists who had been trying to encourage women candidates held Neno up as "Malawi’s top performer in women’s political representation" since Neno has two female MPs and one female councillor Martha Chapendeka in Neno North.^[4]
