Background

Swapo Party President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah admitted a lapse in judgment during the 2019 elections, citing the current National Assembly’s lack of productivity due to Swapo’s minority representation. She criticized the assembly’s atmosphere of insults and chaos, emphasizing the need for a majority to effectively govern. With Swapo holding the most seats but not a majority, Nandi-Ndaitwah urged for stronger support to the party and emphasized the importance of voter registration for future elections.
