The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has also announced that the by-election for the Okaku Constituency in the Oshana Region is slated to take place on the 17th of March.

This follows the death of Councillor Hannu Kapenda on December 19 of last year.

Kapenda was the councillor for the Okaku Constituency since 2015 and also held positions such as chairperson of the Oshana Regional Council and of the management committee.
