Swapo’s Sophia Shaningwa has urged residents of the Guinas constituency in the Oshikoto region to vote for her party’s candidate during the upcoming by-election set for 17 January.
Shaningwa, during a Swapo mini rally held in Tsintsabis settlement on Tuesday, said Moses Khumub is the right person to lead the constituency office and would do justice to the residents of the constituency once in power.
She said the ruling party has made a commitment to deliver job opportunities to the youth of Guinas and should they not elect the right candidate into office, it will be difficult for Swapo to provide job creation projects in the constituency.
“Swapo needs a candidate in Guinas to build a sports field and provide birth certificates to people who do not have them,” she said.
She said Khumub will be under Swapo instructions and should residents vote for any other candidate, Swapo will not be able to bring the much-needed development to the constituency.
“I hope the people of Guinas understand that if they vote for a Swapo candidate for this election, we can implement the party’s manifesto,” said Shaningwa.
She urged the party’s agents not to be intimidated by anyone and urged them to continue to do their work.
Khumub, in his remarks, promised the residents he is going to deliver as highly expected by Swapo.
“I can derive my strength from what I have witnessed in the constituency such as roads and other development. Let’s go out and vote collectively so that we
can win,” he said.
