Political career
Malozo entered politics under the Patriotic Front (PF) and was elected to the National Assembly representing Isoka in the 2011 general election.[1] He was re-elected in the 2016 general election.[1]
In November 2011, President Michael Sata appointed him as the first Provincial Minister for the newly-created Muchinga Province.[2] In November 2012, he was transferred to being the Provincial Minister for Eastern Province.[3] He continued being the Eastern Province provincial minister under Acting President Guy Scott and later under President Edgar Lungu.[1][4][5][6]
In 2016, he was reassigned as the Provincial Minister for Muchinga Province.[1][7][8] In July 2018, while serving as minister, he publicly denied rumors that any District Commissioner in Muchinga Province had been dismissed, defending the stability of the provincial administration.[9]
Ahead of the 2021 general election, Malozo was not re-adopted as the Patriotic Front candidate for Isoka constituency. Marjorie Nakaponda was chosen instead.[10][11][12]
