The leader of the Landless People's Movement (LPM), Bernardus Swartbooi, says the sudden resignation of the party's deputy leader, Henny Seibeb, and the Operative Secretary, Edison Isaak, will have no impact on the party's planned election campaign.

Swartbooi says that the LPM has become stronger after the resignation of the two senior leaders.

There is drama brewing at 11 Stephenson Street in Windhoek West, the headquarters of the Landless People's Movement.

The party has been rocked by the sudden and rather shocking resignations of its co-founding members.

The National Assembly on Tuesday started off on a rocky note as the Speaker, Professor Peter Katjavivi, asked Landless People's Movement (LPM) MP Henny Seibeb to refrain from cursing and using foul language in the house.

This instruction led LPM leader Bernadus Swartbooi and his right-hand man, Seibeb, to walk out of parliament.

Seibeb, who is alleged to have insulted a fellow MP and threatened to harm him on Monday, was asked to withdraw the statement, which he refused.
