EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:: Ndumba Kamwanya Shares Insights on Quick Poll Between SWAPO and PDM

In a recent interview, Eng Ndumba Kamwanya provided valuable insights into a quick poll conducted between Namibia’s ruling party, SWAPO, and the opposition party, PDM. Kamwanya’s analysis sheds light on the dynamics influencing public opinion in the lead-up to the elections.

Ndumba Kamwanya commenced the discussion by acknowledging the relevance of the question. He stated, “Good morning. Yes, a good question, but it is obvious that the ruling party, SWAPO, will win the election, largely because of historical reasons, as a party that liberated Namibia, and it still enjoys large support, especially in rural areas.”

Kamwanya highlighted the historical significance of SWAPO as a liberation movement, emphasizing its enduring popularity in rural regions. The party’s roots in Namibia’s struggle for liberation contribute significantly to its widespread support.

Conversely, Kamwanya shared his perspective on the opposition party, stating, “And vice versa, PDM, of course, they changed the name, but that historical connotation to colonialism still is out there, but also it does not really enjoy popular support throughout the country.”

He addressed the challenge faced by the PDM due to its historical connection to colonialism and suggested that this factor, combined with a lack of broad-based support, poses obstacles to the party’s electoral success.

In conclusion, Kamwanya summarized his viewpoint, stating, “So I think the main reason is that SWAPO is still the most popularly supported throughout the country than PDM. Thank you. Bye.”
