The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has started with preparations for the Keetmanshoop Rural Constituency by-election. 

The by-election became necessary, following the expulsion of former regional councillor, Gerrit Witbooi by his party, Landless People's Movement. 

The leader of the Landless People's Movement Bernadus Swartbooi has given expelled former regional councillor Gerrit Witbooi seven days to give evidence that he verbally abused him or face legal action. 

Stakeholders in Education have called for collective efforts to tackle challenges facing the education sector.

The call was made during the one-day seminar on secondary education, organised by the Landless Peoples Movement.

The LPM is the latest to condemn the killing of Elleste Plaatjie allegedly by two police officers. 

Plaatjie succumbed to injuries he sustained after he was allegedly beaten by Nampol members attached to the Special Reserve Force at Keetmanshoop.  

The Landless People's Movement held a two-day strategy meeting in Windhoek, aimed at taking stock of what the party is going to do in 2023 and in 2024.

Alleged disagreement among members of the Landless People's Movement has forced the abrupt adjournment of the ||Kharas Regional Council's last ordinary meeting for the year.

Councillor McDonald Hanse was re-elected as the Mayor of Keetmanshoop Town Council during the annual mayoral elections. 

Councillor Johannes Vries nominated Hanse for the mayoral position, which was seconded by Councillor Fatima Jossop. 

LPM has dismissed accusations of underperformance and failing to deliver, particularly in the ||Kharas Region, where they are the majority.

The Landless People's Movement must be responsive to remain relevant to the aspirations of Namibians.

This was the view of the party's Deputy Leader, Henny Seibeb, when he addressed the capacity-building conference, being attended by the organising committee members and local authority councillors.

The Lead Youth Commander of the Landless People's Movement's Youth Element, Duminga Ndala, has called for the active participation of young people in politics.

The LPM youth wing held its first conference at Rundu aimed at establishing youth structures in the Kavango East Region.
