Namibia’s ruling party, South West Africa People’s Organisation, SWAPO launched its election manifesto today.
The launch in Outapi in northern Namibia signalled an all-out campaign for the ruling party in preparation for the forthcoming national election.
The party promised to spearhead efforts on ways to economically empower young people, who are mostly unemployed and give preferential treatment to Namibian companies in the public procurement system.
The party’s Secretary General, Sophia Shaningwa reiterated the need to fight corruption and increase the participation of women, youth and people with disabilities in leadership and decision-making positions.
SWAPO will be represented in the November 27th elections by incumbent President Hage Geingob.
