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.

Swapo Party presidential candidate Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah is confident in the mobilisation activities at Walvis Bay, which partly resulted in the return of former member and councillor Knowledge Ipinge and others to the party.
