Ondangwa Rural

Former Ondangwa Constituency (yellow) in the Oshana Region (dark grey)

Ondangwa Rural is an electoral constituency in the Oshana Region of Namibia. It has 13,613 inhabitants.[1] Ondangwa Rural was created by splitting the former constituency of Ondangwa into a rural and an urban part in August 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election. [2]

Politics

Ondangwa is traditionally a stronghold of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) party. In the 2015 local and regional elections the SWAPO candidate won uncontested and became councillor after no opposition party nominated a candidate.[3]
