Mrs. Muala is the wife of Elijah Doro Muala, MP for South Choiseul and Minister of Justice and Legal Affairs. She successfully ousted Mr. Richard Beck, a former non-executive member in the Maepioh-led government.

In an interview, she acknowledged the challenges women face in elections, stating, “We have to work extra hard to convince a voting population that still holds the view that leadership is only for men.”

Mrs. Muala has been preparing for this year’s election for almost two years, aiming to represent her people in Ward 6. “They encouraged me to contest on issues important to our community, addressing the needs of young people, women, and vendors,” she added.

“Women can make a difference; we can hear the cries and have the heart to help those in need. I am grateful to those who trust me to lead Ward 6 for the next four years.”

Mrs. Muala encourages women to contest elections, work hard to build their base and network, and speak out on issues affecting young girls and women in rural areas.
