Martha Mzomera Ngwira is a Malawian Democratic Progressive Party politician for Mzimba Hora. She became a member of the National Assembly in 2019 and she was appointed to be the Deputy Minister of Education.
Life
Her husband Christopher Ngwira was not able to stand in the 2019 elections because the Supreme Court had declared him to be a bankrupt. In 2019 Henry Mumba was chosen as the DPP candidate to represent Mzimba Hora but his name was withdrawn and Martha Mzomera Ngwira was chosen. However the electoral commission would not allow Mumba's name to be withdrawn so the DPP had more than one candidate, but they favoured Martha.
She was elected and in December 2019 she joined a delegation led by the first lady, Gertrude Mutharika to China. Ngwira had already been appointed as the Deputy Minister of Education. She was concerned about the high number of girls who leave school to have babies or to get married.
Ngwira joined the Malawi Parliamentary Women's Caucus that was led by Roseby Gadama.
