The Swapo Party's extraordinary congress, set to take place this weekend, will elect a new party president following the death of Dr. Hage Geingob in February last year.

However, there is a concern about the position of Vice President, which will be left vacant.

As the terms of the country's current regional governors begin to draw to a close, the Governor's Forum has pledged to continue striving for effective service delivery during the remainder of their tenure.

James Uerikua, the Chairperson of the Governor's Forum, expressed his sentiments:

The Swapo Party Central Committee's first meeting for 2024 started in the capital this morning.

The party's Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who addressed the meeting, says the nation and Swapo Party are poorer without the visionary leadership of the late President Hage Geingob.
