Swapo victorious in Kamanjab, Sesfontein, Opuwo Urban

KUNENE COWBOY … The appointment of former DTA president Katuutire Kaura as adviser to the Kunene regional governor has not gone down well with opposition parties. Has Kaura accepting a government job handed a narrow victory to Swapo in his old stomping ground, Opuwo?

Swapo wrestled the Sesfontein and Kamanjab regional council seats from the UDF and narrowly beat DTA to Opuwo Urban constituencies.

Opuwo was split into two after the findings of the fourth Delimitation Commission in 2013.
