IPC says party jumpers want better jobs. Three town leaders joined Swapo last week. They ran things in coastal areas before leaving. Local leader Kangulu says they went back to a group that broke promises for years. He thinks they left because they missed the top seats.
The first six members from another area also walked away in March. They said leaders picked people with hidden rules. One expert sees these exits as small news since these names mean little to most voters. Another watcher thinks party jumping happens when people want money or fame. People switch teams when hopes break.
Changing sides diminishes trust. More people might move before the fall voting time. A former member quit because some groups faced mean treatment. Party heads call these moves selfish, not based on real ideas. Politics turns into job trades, not value stands, when people jump between groups.
