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

At its first convention meeting, the LPM elected a new Political Action Committee. Lifaza Simataa, the party's spokesperson, informed NBC News that the committee has been tasked with filling the vacancy left by Seibeb. However, no specific time frame was given.

Seibeb, who left the ruling Swapo party for the LPM in 2017 along with co-founder Bernadus Swartbooi, wrote a letter of resignation shortly after being removed as the party's chief whip in the National Assembly.

Two members of parliament have already resigned from their respective political parties, just months ahead of the November elections.

Vipuakuja Muharukau, who served as the deputy chief whip of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) from 2015 to 2020 and eventually became the chief whip, also resigned. Muharukaua has since joined Swapo, a party he once accused of using food aid to secure votes.

He emphasized that he had deliberated on the decision to join the ruling party for 16 months.
