THE
Swapo
Party has reclaimed almost all opposition-dominated local authority
councils in the
//Karas Region, while it has retained all seven regional constituencies
in the regional and local authorities elections on Friday.
Provisional
results indicate that Swapo has regained control of //Karas local authority councils
that include Keetmanshoop, Karasburg, Bethanie, Koës and Berseba.
Opposition parties only retained control of the Aroab Village Council.
According
to
the provisional results, Swapo regional council candidates won in the
constituencies of Keetmanshoop Rural,
Keetmanshoop Urban, Karasburg East, Berseba, and Oranjemund, while a
Swapo candidate was also elected in the new Karasburg West constituency.
The
party's
candidate for the !Nami≠Nûs constituency, Jan Scholtz, won the regional
council election in that constituency, which includes Lüderitz,
unopposed.
A visibly
delighted //Karas Swapo coordinator, Mathew Mumbala, said he expected
victory across the region.
"I am a
happy,” said Mumbala, thanking the regional and national leadership
and party members, supporters and sympathisers for their hard work in
ensuring that the party came out victorious in the elections.
