Luhaga Joelson Mpina (born 5 May 1975) is a Tanzanian politician and Member of Parliament for Kisesa constituency since 2005.[1] He was the Minister of Livestock and Fisheries for 3 years in the Magufuli cabinet. In August 2025, he left the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi party and joined the Alliance for Change and Transparency. However, he was barred from running for president in the 2025 Tanzanian general election over complaints that the party had failed to comply with nomination procedures in the primaries.[2]
