Namibia approved two fresh political groups Thursday at election headquarters. The Electoral Commission of Namibia gave certificates to People United for Change and Namibia Progressive Party. Wilson Hange accepted papers for Nappa during the ceremony. Ernestus Axakhoeb received documents for PUC at the same event. Officials followed Electoral Act Section 137 rules for the registration process.
Treasury money stays away from the new organizations. De Wet Siluka from the commission explained that parties without parliament seats cannot access government funds. These groups must find their campaign money from private sources. The parties will compete against established political movements. They face tough competition from groups already holding legislative positions.
Namibia counts 25 registered political parties after these additions. The Association of Localised Interests of Josef Kauandenge also plans to contest upcoming elections. Regional and local authority races approach across the southern African nation. Voters will choose representatives for municipal and regional governments. The expanded field gives citizens more political choices during the election period.
