Moses for Moses \/\/Garoeb constituency<\/p>\n<p>Mwandingi yesterday said if elected, he will donate half of his salary to the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been living here for the last 15 years. I know the suffering of my people. If elected, I will share half of my salary with the community. We will use the money for projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also promised to uplift his community\u2019s livelihood by constantly bringing the issues to the regional council. Residents of the Moses \/\/Garoe\u0308b constituency will go to the polls on 6 January next year to elect a new regional councillor.<\/p>\n<p>The by-election became necessary, following the recent death of the constituency\u2019s councillor, Aili Venonya. Mwandingi will be contesting against a Swapo candidate as well as two independent candidates. The constituency has 41 206 registered voters.<\/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.
