Namibia’s ruling party, the South West Africa People’s Organization (SWAPO) is scheduled to hold countrywide demonstrations in support of Hage Geingob, the country’s elected president.
The Swapo Secretary-General, Sophia Shaningwa in a letter Wednesday instructed all SWAPO regional structures and wings to mobilize all party members and supporters for peaceful demonstrations.
“The peaceful demonstrations will, therefore, commence on March 7 at all 121 SWAPO Party district offices and 14 SWAPO regional offices countrywide until the inauguration of the democratically elected president Geingob on March 21,” she said.
According to Shaningwa, the party leadership has noted with concern, of some unscrupulous members who want to undermine the democratic election process by inciting demonstrations against Geingob, hence the need to rally in support of Geingob.
Namibia’s president won another term in November last year’s elections receiving 56 percent of the vote. Despite his win, opposition parties took legal action at the ruling citing irregularities in the election of which the Supreme Court in Feb. 2020 ruled in favor of the ruling party and upheld the results.
