Oshikunde Constituency

Oshikunde Constituency is an electoral constituency in the Ohangwena Region of Namibia.

The administrative centre of Oshikunde Constituency is the settlement of Omutwewomunu.[1]

Politics

As is common in all constituencies of former Owamboland, Namibia's ruling SWAPO Party won the 2015 regional election by a landslide. Its candidate Lonia Kaishungu-Shinana gathered 4,049 votes, while the only opposition candidate, Martin Hailonga of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), received 72 votes.[2]
