In a statement dated 30 May, Nicanor directed party structures at all levels, in the regions, districts, branches affiliates and wings to ensure they mobilise the members by encouraging them to go register from 3 June to 1 August. “Our collective and primary objective is to ensure a landslide victory for the Swapo Party and its Presidential candidate, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. Let us go out there and mobilise our members, supporters, the young and the old. To march towards a decisive victory by getting registered as voters,” she urged. Nicanor stressed that patriotic Namibians must ensure that the party retains its mandate and continues steering the country to the desirable destination while also working hard to create a better future for Namibians. She said the Swapo campaign theme is: Unity in diversity; natural resources, benediction and youth empowerment for sustainable development”. “As a revolutionary party that stood the test of time and broke the jaws of colonialism, we will be heading into the elections as a united front and will continue to build the Namibian House. Nicanor emphasised that a democratic process requires eligible registered voters to stand up and exercise responsibility in order to be counted. Nicanor is adamant that the upcoming elections present a significant opportunity to make meaningful and tangible progress on the socio-economic development of the country and to improve the lives of the people as well as unlock the maximum potential of the people to realise their hopes and aspirations.
