98 Batswana of Namibian descent will return home this Friday. The group, who will be accompanied by four ministers from Botswana, will be formally received at the Dobe Border Post.

Namibia's Minister of Home Affairs, along with other government officials, will also be present.

NUDO Secretary General Joseph Kauandenge has withdrawn from the presidential race due to what he termed infighting within the party.

Kauandenge says more time is spent quelling internal fights instead of advancing the party, something that he says will bring down the party if not stopped.

The National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) has discouraged its members from individual public campaigns for leadership positions in the party.
