ECN recently announced the registration of two political parties

The number of political parties in Namibia has now reached 25, as two more have officially joined the list. The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) recently announced the registration of the People United for Change (PUC) and the Namibia Progressive Party (Nappa).

The registration took place on Thursday at the ECN headquarters in Windhoek, where both parties were handed their official certificates in line with Section 137(1) of the Electoral Act.

Despite being registered, ECN spokesperson De Wet Siluka made it clear that the new parties will not receive any government funding. “Any political party that has no seat in parliament does not get any funding from the National Assembly. They will need to finance their own campaigns,” he explained.

Wilson Hange received the certificate on behalf of Nappa, while Ernestus Axakhoeb represented PUC. The two parties are now preparing to participate in the upcoming regional and local authority elections, alongside other smaller parties such as the Association of Localised Interests led by Josef Kauandenge.

With a population of just under 4 million people, Namibians now have a wider range of political options to choose from in future elections.
