W.K. Mutale Nalumango (born 1 January 1955) is a Zambian educator and politician. She currently serves as the 14th Vice President of Zambia, having been appointed to the position in August 2021. Nalumango is only the second woman to hold this position, which is considered one of the most significant political roles in the country.[1]

Before entering politics, Nalumango worked as an educator and served as Vice-President of the Secondary Schools' Teachers Union of Zambia. She later resigned from her position to pursue a career in politics and was elected as a member of the National Assembly in 2001, representing the Kaputa Constituency on the ticket of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD).

Nalumango has held several prominent positions in Zambia's political landscape, including serving as Deputy Minister of Information and Deputy Speaker in Parliament. She was the first woman to hold the position of Deputy Speaker, a role in which she played a crucial role in shaping the country's legislative agenda.[2]
