UPM eyes parliament

Home Featured UPM eyes parliament

WINDHOEK – The United People’s Movement aims to be well represented in the next parliament. This was said by the party’s vice president, Piet Junius, when he addressed a meeting in the Kaptein Hermanus van Wyk Gedenksaal in Rehoboth over the weekend. The meeting was attended by around 400 people, according to information provided. Junius told the gathering that although the party is not a “Baster party” as is being claimed in some quarters, it aims to draw its biggest support from Rehoboth as its stronghold. Junius said that the party has already showed that it can take on the big guns when it won two seats in the Rehoboth Town Council and one seat in the Okahandja Town Council during the 2010 local authority elections. He said that the UPM is the only party that can defeat the ruling Swapo Party in Rehoboth, whilst it will give good account of itself of its strength in other towns. “I would therefore urge the residents of Rehoboth to leave the past behind and unite behind the UPM” he said and called on supporters and symphatisers to encourage their families wherever they are in Namibia to get ready for the polls on November 28, 2014 and go vote for UPM. During the meeting some of the candidates that the UPM will field during the upcoming parliamentary election were introduced to the audience and Junius announced that the UPM will hold a star rally in Rehoboth on November 22 where the rest of the candidates will be introduced.
