Mumba was the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) candidate in Chama North constituency at the 2011 general election and was elected. However, after a petition, his seat was nullified the following year[3][4] and a by-election took place in July 2012 in which January Zimba of the Patriotic Front (PF) was elected.[5] Mumba then left the MMD to join the PF and was adopted as the PF's candidate in Chama North for the 2016 general election, with him winning the seat.[6]
