Hamisi Andrea Kigwangalla (born 7 August 1975) is a Tanzanian politician for the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party and Member of Parliament for the Nzega constituency since 2010.

[citation needed] He was educated at Kigoma and Shinyanga secondary schools before joining the University of Dar es Salaam where he pursued a degree in medicine from 1999, until he completed it in 2004.

[citation needed] His appointment by the national executive council to run for the post through the ruling party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) ticket was followed by a lot of criticism with critics claiming that he was appointed to contest for the post despite being the second runner up after Hussein Mohamed Bashe (the winner of the primary votes), who was not favoured on account of his citizenship being unclear; and the incumbent Lucas Lumambo Selelii (1st runner up) in the primaries, because he was working for the First Lady of Tanzania's charitable organisation, Wanawake na Maendeleo (WAMA), which he denies.

[4][5] Immediately after his nomination by the CCM's top congregation, he was also arrested by the immigration police on charges of being a non-citizen of Tanzania and this became a center issue in the Tanzanian media.

In an April 2017 interview with BuzzFeed News while serving as deputy health minister, he said he supported the use of anal exams to judge whether someone has had gay sex, despite it being widely considered by medical experts to be a violation of human rights.
