We believe in the basic principle of the rule of law, not the rule of men . . ,\u201d Itula said.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed confidence in the party&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>He accused some leaders serving as councillors of wanting to benefit from government projects clandestinely.<\/p>\n<p>Itula said the IPC wants to create a future for all Namibians, including the generations to come, and therefore requires every Namibian to speak \u201cwith one voice on what needs to be done to achieve the future Namibians want\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were given the right to self-determination, but since independence Namibians have experienced a corruption of the politics of &#8216;who you know&#8217; instead of &#8216;what you know&#8217;, which has marginalised many Namibians and has led to a high degree of difference between the haves and have-nots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I can assure you with the leadership of the IPC, we will emerge victorious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe future we declared at indepence in 1990 should become a reality that is shining ever brightly for all Namibians. You are the change that is needed to make this a reality from 2024. You are the vehicle, but if you don&#8217;t stand up now, we are in trouble as a nation,\u201d Itula said.<\/p>\n<p>During the 2020 regional and local authority elections the party contested at Keetmanshoop and Ko\u00ebs, where it obtained no seats.<\/p>\n<p>The IPC obtained three seats at Oranjemund, and two at L\u00fcderitz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
