Namibia Set for Presidential Election
Namibia will hold a presidential and parliamentary election on November 27, following the death of President Hage Geingob. His deputy, Nangolo Mbumba, is currently serving as interim president. This election could change the political landscape if the ruling SWAPO party loses power.
Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is the first female presidential candidate for SWAPO. Other candidates include Panduleni Itula, who previously ran as an independent and now leads the Independent Patriots for Change, and McHenry Venaani, leader of the Popular Democratic Movement.
Bernadus Swartbooi heads the Landless People’s Movement, advocating for land redistribution. Job Amupanda, a former SWAPO youth leader, leads the Affirmative Repositioning movement, focusing on land reform.
