Kamanya kills himself, leaves suicide note
Deputy Minister of local government and Peoples Party (PP) MP Godfrey Kamanya has shot himself dead at his home in Area 10 at around 3am according to police.
Kamanya had been MP for Lilongwe Msozi North constituency since he joined PP and unofficial results indicated that he was losing his seat.
Kamanya is trailing in his constituency in May 20 election.
By Wednesday morning, unofficial results from the Lilongwe rural tally centre indicated that Kamanya was coming fifth out of seven candidates with 1 738 votes against 4 625 for Malawi Congress Party candidate Highton Jiya and in some centres he had a as little votes as 35.
According to Kamanya's friend and former Minister of Transport Ulemu Chilapondwa said his wife received a call from Kamanya's wife that she heard a gunshot in a room which the former deputy minister had locked himself in.
When Chilapondwa arrived at Kamanya's Area 10 home, he and two others managed to break down the door and found that his friend had died from a gunshot to his chest.
The contents of a note which Chilapondwa was privy to indicated that Kamanya listed how his property would be shared and made a special request to President Joyce Banda to look after his son.
But Chilapondwa said he would leave the disclosure of the full contents of the suicide note to the Police who are currently carrying out investigations .

MEC Chairperso Maxon Mbendera dismissing allegations of digital system being hacked as untrue. Says the digital system has been slow but MEC will not abandone it, it will be supported by manual system. Results will be sent in by faxes and some will be physically taken to the National Tally Center (COMESA HALL) in Blantyre.PP's Joyce Banda claims the election has been rigged. Pres Joyce Banda says her party has evidence that election has been rigged and this has been submitted to Mec. She now wants a manual recount of the votes tallied. Says only then will a 'true winner emerge'. Pres Joyce Banda also read out Kamanya's suicide note in which he alleged DPP people Mayi Makuta and Ben Phiri threatened to kill him.
