OPUWO – The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) will not relinquish its domination in Kunene North, where it currently controls the Epupa, Opuwo Urban and Opuwo Rural constituencies, with aspirations to also take over the Sesfontein constituency.
This was said by the PDM’s Kunene regional coordinator Karitjindua Hepute last week on the sidelines of a welcoming event for more than 70 new members who joined from various other political parties at Ombazu village in the Epupa constituency.
The new members are from the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), Swapo Party, and the National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO).
Hepute said the PDM aspires to take over the Sesfontein constituency from the United Democratic Front in two years, adding that the party’s membership has grown since the previous national election, with over 600 new members joining the party in the Sesfontein constituency over the last five months.
Speaking at the same event, Opuwo Urban constituency councillor Ueutjerevi Ngunaihe appealed for unity among party members ahead of the party’s primary election next year.
