As campaigns take shape ahead of the national elections, Swapo Party Central Committee member James Uerikua says the country is firm and solid under the leadership of the Swapo Party.

Uerikua expressed this at a mini-rally held at Okamatapati settlement.

The Swapo Party Coordinator for the Otjozondjupa Region says the region is no longer the subject of attention from the party's headquarters and the national leaders assigned to it because of divisions that had plagued it in the past.

The Swapo Party Otjozondjupa Regional Coordinator, Imms Namaseb, says although the party has made great strides in terms of 50/50 representation, there are still critical areas where women need to fully participate, including innovation and technology.
