Biography

Prior to entering politics, Mwaimba was a businessman.[1] He contested the Kapiri Mposhi seat as the National Lima Party candidate in the 1996 general elections, but finished in third place.[2] Prior to the 2001 general elections he was chosen as the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) candidate and was elected to the National Assembly with a majority of 3,761.[3] Following the elections he was appointed Deputy Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services. However, he was sacked by President Levy Mwanawasa in 2003 after being accused of fraud.[4] In June 2004 he was made Deputy Minister of Local Government and Housing.[5] He was later moved to become Deputy Minister of Works and Supply in 2006.

Mwaimba was not selected as the MMD candidate for the Kapiri Mposhi for the 2006 general elections.[6]
