Swapo Party Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has commended the residents of Okaku for once again putting their hopes and trust in the ruling party.

Her comments come after the Swapo candidate David Fillipus won the constituency's by-election that took place on Friday.

Nandi-Ndaitwah says Swapo's victory will allow the party to continue where it has left off in providing the much-needed development in the constituency.

It is also an indication that Swapo is a tested political party that is favored by many because it cares for the nation, she said.

"I know that when I went to Okaku, I asked them to give me an assurance that they were ready to tell the Swapo Party leadership and Swapo party members across the country that for them, the only party they believe in is Swapo, and the results that came out have shown that. What I can say to the party leadership, both to ourselves and to party members, is that we should not let our people down; we must provide the necessary services as we are able to do so based on the resources that are available."

Nandi-Ndaitwah has also called on Swapo members and supporters to make the party proud in the upcoming Keetmanshoop Rural by-election.

"In fact, very soon we will be facing the by-election in Keetmanshoop, and we expect the residents in Keetmanshoop to do the same and make sure that even those who left Swapo for one reason or another come back home; it is your home, and you are welcome. Thank you, Okaku; you make us proud. Let others follow in your footsteps during the coming by-elections and elections in 2024 and 2025."
