From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Lungay is a politician in Sierra Leone. Lungay is currently a Member of Parliament and also ran in the 1996 Presidential election as a member of the Social Democratic Party, receiving .7% of the national vote. An interesting note on that election is Lungay and Andrew Turay, the 2 worst finishers in the election, had equal amounts of votes from all the regions, something the top-finishers could not claim [1]. As of 2002 in Parliament, Lungay is a member of the SLPP and the prominent Education, Social Services, Youths & Sports, Human Rights and Internal Affairs committees.
