Peter Marvin William Daka (born 3 November 1960)[1] is a Zambian politician. He served as a Member of the National Assembly for Msanzala from 2003 to 2021.
In the 2001 general elections, Daka contested the Msanzala seat as the Heritage Party candidate, finishing fourth with 21% of the vote, whilst Levison Mumba of the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) was elected.[2] However, the results were annulled by the High Court after being petitioned by Daka.[3] Mumba was subsequently dropped by the MMD, with Daka chosen as the new MMD candidate. In the subsequent by-election, Daka defeated Mumba (who ran as the United Party for National Development candidate) and was elected to the National Assembly.[4] During his first term in office he became a member of the Pan-African Parliament.[5] .In 2005 he was appointed Deputy Minister of Science and Technology by President Levy Mwanawasa.
Daka was re-elected in the 2006 general elections with a majority of 2,537.[6] Following the elections he was appointed Minister of Transport and Communications.[7] In 2007 he became Minister of Science, Technology and Vocational Training.[8] He was moved to Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives in 2009, before being reappointed Minister of Science, Technology and Vocational Training in 2010.[9]
The 2011 general elections saw Daka lose his seat to Joseph Lungu, an independent candidate.[10] After Lungu joined the Patriotic Front, Daka contested the subsequent by-election in 2012 but was defeated again.[11]
Prior to the 2016 general elections, Daka was adopted as the Patriotic Front candidate. He was subsequently elected to the National Assembly with a 3,963 vote majority.[12] Following the elections, losing candidate Margaret Zulu challenged Daka's election in court. However, the challenge was rejected.[13]
