In the 2022 general election, Mapesa unsuccessfully vied for the Lukamanda ward MCA seat under the UDA party ticket but lost to ODM Party’s Bernand Wanonyi Mulama.

Mulama has eulogized Mapesa as a friend who will be missed by the people of Lukamanda ward.

“Saying goodbye this soon feels wrong. Writing RIP at this moment feels heavy when friendship and brotherhood are served by death. At times death doesn’t play fair.

“We as the people of Lukamanda ward have lost. Rest in peace brother, friend, and colleague Hoin Godfrey Mapesa,” the Lukamanda MCA mourned.
