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.
