A political party based on Christian principles was launched at the Omakulukuma settlement in Ondangwa.

The Body of Christ Party targets Christians of all denominations and strives to take their voice to parliament.

BCP claims to be on a mission to ensure freedom, peace, and justice for all Christians as well as fight for the fundamental human rights of all.

Its president, Bishop Festus Thomas, is urging fellow Christians to rally behind the party in the upcoming 2024 national elections.

"A vote for BCP is a vote for genuine democracy and the rule of law between the church and the state without religion; a vote for BCP is a vote for equality and fairness; a vote for BCP is a vote for constitutional reform for the total elimination of systematic corruption."

Bishop Thomas says BCP will address issues such as land distribution, unemployment, the need for economic transformation, and infrastructure development, including roads, schools, and hospitals.

"A vote for BCP is a vote for the productive agricultural developments in Namibia; a vote for BCP is a vote for the protection of our natural resources; a vote for BCP is a vote for a revamping of our universities; campuses; and a vote for BCP is a vote for solving house problems."
