The Swapo Party Elders Council (SPEC) of the Kapako District in the Kavango West Region condemned the opposition of its newly elected district coordinator by some Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) members, who elected another candidate.

The media briefing by the elder's council comes after SPYL District Secretary for Kapako Stefanus Kudumo's media briefing, held last week.

Some of the youth expressed disappointment after they elected Valentinus Munkara as District Coordinator last year, only for the party's Secretary General's office to recognise Maurus Nekaro instead.

A decision that the youth described as undermining the democratic rights of its members and disrespecting the party's rules. 

The elders are, however, calling on their members to be calm despite the ongoing misunderstanding.

The elder's council calls on the Swapo Party politbureau and the central committee to institute immediate disciplinary measures against problematic members. 

The elders maintain Maurus Nekaro is the district coordinator.
