“With a heavy heart and deepest sadness, we the entire UTM party for all Malawians are grieved with the death of one truly patriotic UTM aspirant candidate for Lilongwe South West constituency Mrs Agness Nandau Penemulungu,” reads in part the statement.

On her part, UTM Secretary General Patricia Kaliati said funeral details are  yet to be made available as the party is still consulting with Penemulungu’s family.
