A political party based on Christian principles was launched at the Omakulukuma settlement in Ondangwa.

The Body of Christ Party targets Christians of all denominations and strives to take their voice to parliament.

BCP claims to be on a mission to ensure freedom, peace, and justice for all Christians as well as fight for the fundamental human rights of all.

Its president, Bishop Festus Thomas, is urging fellow Christians to rally behind the party in the upcoming 2024 national elections.

A new political party, "Body of Christ," has registered with the Electoral Commission of Namibia.

The party's leader, Bishop Festus Thomas, says his movement is about respecting and upholding biblical principles while also focusing on the family unit and traditional Namibian and African values.

Even though the Body of Christ was established five years ago in Ondangwa, the party was only now registering because it had to meet the requirements of the electoral act.
