Dual Resignations Shake Landless People’s Movement Ahead of Elections

Seibeb’s departure follows reports of a serious rift with LPM leader Bernadus Swartbooi, with speculation that his resignation is linked to his removal as chief whip. This dual resignation has created uncertainty within the LPM just five months before national elections. Local political analyst Rakkel Andreas.
