Tsumeb Constituency

Tsumeb constituency is traditionally a stronghold of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) party. In the 2004 regional election SWAPO candidate Lebbeus Tobias received 3,371 of the 4,531 votes cast.^[4]

As in all constituencies in Oshikoto, SWAPO won the 2015 regional election by a landslide. Councillor Tobias gained 4,358 votes and was reelected, while the only opposition candidate Richard Hoeseb of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) gained 748.^[5] The SWAPO candidate also won the 2020 regional election, albeit by a much smaller margin. Gottlieb Ndjendjela received 3,640 votes, while Matti Amoolongo of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), a party formed in August 2020, obtained 2,016 votes. Kariiwe Kuhanga of the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM, the new name of the DTA) came third with 322 votes.^[6]
