That can only be done if party members are united despite the results from the congress.<\/p>\n<p>To win the confidence of the public, the party will have to bring more benefits to the electorate, as it is no longer slogans and liberation songs that people need.<\/p>\n<p>What the electorate needs now is the betterment of their livelihoods. Ministers\u2019 performance must be primarily measured against recent track records of their ministries in terms of service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>The next national elections will be tougher than all previous elections as the electorate demands development than anything else. It\u2019s against this background that anyone vying for top positions in government, must come up with actions that the electorate wants to see and not just words.<\/p>\n<p>The nation awaits answers on burning issues like the forever increases of fuel, while the neighbours have cheaper fuel.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely that the President will effect a reshuffle as he is still trying to cool down tempers as the just ended congress have left some comrades with broken hearts to nurse for a long time and some political careers could be heading for a dead end.<\/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.
