Swartbooi said this in an interview with South African news channel Newzroom Afrika in Johannesburg this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got 25 seats, and 21 were taken. We know what we are talking about.<\/p>\n

“There were the EVMs, and they gave us four seats in the National Assembly out of 96,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said his party won two regions and about 20 municipalities out of the 57 local authorities in the country.<\/p>\n

This made the LPM the second-largest political party in the country, Swartbooi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of leadership that we have are young women of 22 and 27 years old, who are mayors and chairpersons of local authorities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Swartbooi and other members of parliament from Namibia were in Johannesburg to attend a Pan-African Parliament session.<\/p>\n
