2001 by-election In September 2001 a by-election was held after incumbent MP
Godfrey Miyanda was expelled from the ruling
Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) together with nine cabinet ministers. The by-election was contested by the MMD (who fielded Dominic Laban Nyirongo), the
United National Independence Party (who fielded Kamoyo Mwale) and the
Forum for Democracy and Development (who fielded
Richard Kachingwe). The by-election was won by Kachingwe, although he was only a Member of Parliament for a few months as general elections were held on 27 December 2001.
