The Swapo Party marks its 65th anniversary today.

Founded in 1960 as the successor to the Ovamboland People's Organization, Swapo played a pivotal role in Namibia's liberation struggle and has been the ruling party since the country gained independence in 1990.

The Swapo Party has called for unity in diversity while reiterating that the party's victory in the concluded elections is a testament to the trust Namibians place in its governance and leadership.

It's all systems go for the much anticipated 7th Swapo Party Elective Congress. 

The party's Secretary for Information and Mobilisation Hilma Nikanor said they are ready and nothing can hamper the congress moving forward.
