Kingstone was elected for the constituency of Mangothi Central in 2022. She was already the Democratic Progressive Party's Deputy Director for women when she obtained 2,226 votes and her closest rival, Victor Makda, had 1,700 votes. The voting had been delayed for an hour at one of the two voting locations due to a disagreement. However Minister Grace Chiumia, who had overseen the election. was happy to endorse the result.
In 2020 the proposed plans for Mangochi Airport were delayed and 100s of local landowners were expecting compensation. As the local MP, Kingston spoke up in parliament urging action and for President Lazuras Chakwera to not abandon the plans for the airport and hotel.
Kimgstone became a member of the Malawi Women's Caucus. In 2021 she was the only woman in a party of five parliamentarians from Malawi who visited the Pan-African Parliament in Johannesburg. The parliament is a creation of the African Union and Kingstone became a member of it. She was to represent the 16 member states of the Southern African Development Community.
In April 2024 she was in the media as she was planning to marry a man and another woman said that she was married to him.
