Ndiyona constituency until 2013 belonged to the Kavango Region.[1] In 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election, the Kavango Region was split into Kavango East and Kavango West.[3] The new Ndonga Linena Constituency was created from the western part of Ndiyona, so that Ndiyona is now much smaller than before. Both constituencies belong to Kavango East.[4]
