Biography

Sinyinda was born in 1952 into a family from Situnda, a village in Senanga District.[3] He worked as a teacher before entering politics.[1] Prior to the 2006 general elections he was chosen as the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy candidate in the Senanga Central constituency and defeated the incumbent MP Walusiku Situmbeko with 70% of the vote and an 8,700 majority.[4] In October 2007 he was appointed Deputy Minister of Education.[5] He did not contest the 2011 general elections.

In January 2012, he was appointed Ngambela (Prime Minister) of Barotseland.[3] However, he resigned from the post in November, claiming he had not been supported by the Litunga (King of Barotseland), Lubosi II Imwiko.[6] In September 2013, he was arrested and charged with treason for allegedly supporting the secession of Western Province.[7] After spending three months in custody, he was released in December after the government abandoned the prosecution.[8]

He was elected the leader of the Barotse National Freedom Alliance in 2016.[9]
