Africa-Press – Namibia. THE Oshakati Town Council has on Friday re-elected Leonard Hango of SWAPO to serve as the town’s Mayor for the third time, while his fellow Swapo councillor Puyeipawa Elifas retained her position as deputy mayor.
Ruusa Frans, Maria Mutumbulwa and Hofeni Mutota will also remain members of the management committee.
Meanwhile, Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) councillor, Jerobeam Ndaamohamba remain the only ordinary councillor, with the 7th position vacant. The vacant positions come after IPC removed its Oshakati town Councillor Martha Imene (22) with immediate effect early this month.

In his acceptance speech, Hango said the town council has made remarkable contributions towards strengthening the town’s democracy, service delivery and economic growth.
