The Swapo Party has reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the social challenges facing the country, particularly in rural communities.

The Landless People's Movement (LPM) missed its target of having 71% youth representation in the parliamentary list and has instead reached only 45%.
 
LPM announced its list of 92 candidates for the National Assembly at the electoral convention held over the weekend in Windhoek. 

Knowledge Ipinge, who returned to the ruling party in September this year, said he never left the party, nor was he expelled.

He explained that, as a result, he remained a member of Swapo.

The President of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), Mike Kavekotora, has pledged to introduce a progressive inheritance tax of approximately 50% if elected to govern.

He made this announcement during the launch of the party's manifesto in Ongwediva.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) is conducting a mock verification exercise of its enhanced and upgraded Integrated Mobile Voter Registration System (IMVRS).

This exercise is a key step in the preparations for the upcoming 2024 Presidential and National Assembly elections.

The Secretary of the Swapo Elders Council (SEC), Mukwaita Shanyengana, urged the council members to mobilise all the eligible voters to register to participate in the November elections. 

He said this during the Council's Central Committee meeting.

The position of Deputy Leader of the Landless People's Movement (LPM) remains vacant following the resignation of Henny Seibeb last month.
