The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has said that no by-elections will be held in the Okatana and Rehoboth constituencies following the death of Swapo Party councillor Edmund Ishuwa and the dismissal of Landless People’s Movement (LPM) councillor Harald Kambrude.

The Landless Peoples Movement (LPM) has announced the expulsion of Harald Kambrude following his public declaration on social media that he will be contesting the upcoming Regional Council elections as an independent candidate.
