John Thighuru says he never planned to run for office in November. Reports claimed the former Swapo governor wanted to compete in upcoming elections. He calls the news false and says party leaders never talked to him about running. Thighuru served as governor before and worked as a councillor from 2001 to 2004. The politician waits for his party to guide his next steps.

Damian Maghambayi wants to keep his job as Mukwe constituency councillor. The current Swapo member plans to run again but will step aside if party bosses choose someone else. He believes his community still needs his help with unfinished projects. Water systems and roads have improved under his leadership over the years. Maghambayi hopes to turn Divundu into a shipping center that connects Namibia and Zambia.

Some people doubt Maghambayi can win again. Community leader Marando Freddy thinks Swapo might pick Thighuru instead. Local residents feel angry about poor service from their current leader. Swapo officials told regional offices to pick candidates before June 30. The party wants enough time to run strong campaigns for regional and local elections.
