Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) Secretary for Information and Publicity Nghiningilwandubo Kashume has called on the Namibian youth to take an active role in their future by participating in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Nampa here on Tuesday, he said as the country prepares for the 2024 Presidential and National Assembly elections, it is important for the youth to acquaint themselves and realise how important it is for them to take part in political decision-making through voting. Kashume said democracy is a new political system in Namibia and many people, especially the youth, do not understand what a multi-party democratic system constitutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy voting, it means when the youth is demanding things to be done for themselves, they have done their part… You can\u2019t demand a clinic, school, road or housing – basic necessities every citizen of our land requires – while you are saying \u2018I\u2019m the youth, I don\u2019t want to participate in politics\u2019,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

He continued that the RDP is taking part in the elections, and is scheduled to deliberate on the preparations for internal democratic elections on 24 February 2024, which will be followed by a fourth national convention to elect its national leadership.<\/p>\n

The party will also discuss its election manifesto at the upcoming party congress, after which its contents would be made public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a tendency in this country where RDP presents its election manifestos, and others go and plagiarise it. We don\u2019t like it very much, but the time will come when we are ready to present our election manifesto,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He also called on Namibians to check their current voting cards, as most would have expired.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of Namibians are looking forward to the RDP taking part in this election, and they are determined. It is encouraging for the RDP\u2019s outlook,\u201d he enthused.<\/p>\n
