WALVIS BAY - President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah has launched a compelling campaign for upcoming regional and local authority elections, emphasizing the critical importance of service delivery and youth empowerment in Namibia's democratic future.
Service Delivery at the Heart of Local Governance
Speaking to thousands at the Kuisebmond Stadium on Saturday, President Nandi-Ndaitwah highlighted the vital role of local authorities in providing essential services to communities. The campaign launch, themed "Unity in Diversity: Natural Resources Beneficiation & Youth Empowerment for Sustainable Development," aligns with the 8th Administration's core priorities.
"These structures are critical for delivering water, sanitation, housing, electricity, roads, and other services that directly impact the lives of our people. They are the frontline of government, ensuring no Namibian is left behind," stated the President.
Democratic Accountability and Youth Engagement

Economic Development and Resource Management
Namibia's approach to resource management and economic development remains central to the campaign's message, with particular emphasis on creating opportunities for youth participation in governance and economic activities.
