Victoria Kingstone is a Malawian MP for central Mangochi in southern Malawi.
Life
Kingstone was elected for Mangothi Central in 2022. She was the Democratic Progressive Party's Deputy Director for women. She had 2,226 votes and her rival Victor Makda had 1700 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 only woman in a party of five parliamentarians from Malawi who visited the Pan-African Parliament in Johannesburg.
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.
