A former Deputy Minister of Local
Government, Godfrey Kamanya (pictured above) reportedly committed suicide Thursday
May 22nd, barely a day after the Malawi elections results started
filtering in showing that he'd lost the parliamentary seat he was
competing for in the 2014 Tripartite elections.
According to local news report, Mr
Kamanya shot himself around 3:30 this morning at his house in Area 10, Lilongwe
after losing the Lilongwe Msodzi North Parliamentary elections this week.
"We had to break the door to his kitchen where he
had locked himself up," Kamanya's friend also a member of Banda's People's
Party - told Zodiak broadcasting.
In the suicide note, the former
minister reportedly said he took his life because of misunderstandings related
to politics
