Mankumpi Constituency

Mankumpi Constituency is an electoral constituency in the Kavango West Region of Namibia. The administrative centre is the village of Satotwa. Mankumpi was created in August 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election.[1] It was formed from the south-eastern part of the former Kahenge Constituency.[2]

Politics

As in all Kavango West constituencies, SWAPO won the 2015 regional election by a landslide. Lukas Muha received 1,335 votes, followed by Frans Kandjembo Muremi of the All People's Party (APP, 66 votes).[3] For the 2020 regional election no opposition candidate was fielded,[4] and the sitting SWAPO councillor was duly re-elected.[5] Muha was subsequently elected to be one of the three councillors representing Kavango West in the National Council of Namibia, and the National Council elected him as its fifth chairperson.[6]
