A former Deputy Minister of Local Government, Godfrey
Kamanya (pictured above) reportedly committed suicide today 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 and outlined how
his wealth should be distributed to beneficiaries. Police are currently investigating the incident.
