Body of Christ Party Member of Parliament, Festus Thomas, has urged President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah to declare a state of emergency.

This follows the brutal murders of three minor Okahandja residents.

Thomas said the murder of young children is a serious issue and should not be taken lightly.

Body of Christ Party MP Festus Thomas has questioned the Ministry of Urban and Rural Development over reported restrictions placed on churches, particularly revival churches, by some traditional leaders in northern Namibia.

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.

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.
