National Unity Democratic Organisation (Nudo) presidential spokesperson and advisor Joseph Kauandenge is happy with the outcome of the Regional Council Election for Katutura Central Constituency, which he also competed in but lost.
Kauandenge ran against DTA of Namibia candidate Bensen Utarera Jazikua Katjirijova, and incumbent Swapo councillor Ambrosius Kandjii, who retained his seat.
Kauandenge received 920 votes, Katjirijova 718, and Kandjii 3 009 votes after voting on Friday.
The Nudo politician said that although he did not win, his party managed to win a seat on the Windhoek Municipality in the Local Authority Election, and they also won the Omatako Constituency in the Otjozonjupa Region, which belonged to Swapo since Independence.
“The victories have added to the number of constituencies under Nudo countrywide,” he said, adding that these elections showed that their party’s voters have increased compared to previous years, and this makes Kauandenge happy.
He noted that it was his first time to contest these elections (Regional Council) and therefore people are still getting to know him, but he hopes to make it in the next elections.
“Many people didn’t turn up for voting though, and it’s because they have lost hope in the current councillors who do not fulfil their promises,” said Kauandenge.
The Regional Council and Local Authority Elections took place Friday.
