Mukwilongo said his party believes in empowering youth, not just in words, but in real life.<\/p>\n<p>He made the call at the party\u2019s final mega rally held at Okatana-Oshakati in Oshana region on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis election is a once-in a lifetime opportunity to demand leaders who truly care about your future. This is not a time to be complacent, but it is time to act.<\/p>\n<p>By casting your vote for NEFF, you are choosing a government that puts you and the people of Namibia first. You are choosing a government that believes in economic freedom in our lifetime,\u201d Mukwilongo said.<\/p>\n<p>He said for 34 years, the country struggled under a system that allegedly claims to serve its people but has continually overlooked their cries, needs, and dreams. A resource-rich nation like Namibia is shackled by a lack of genuine economic freedom and opportunity for its people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pledge to refit policies that have kept you from achieving your true potential to economic freedom in our lifetime. NEFF\u2019s mission is to focus on economic policies that prioritise job creation, fair wages, affordable housing, and improved healthcare and education systems.<\/p>\n<p>We will work to reform land distribution so that land is no longer in the hands of a few but fairly allocated to empower our people,\u201d Mukwilongo said.<\/p>\n<p>The politician said the upcoming election marks the beginning of a new era.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the party was deregistered before being re-registered, he said it has proved countless times to Namibians that it is capable.<\/p>\n<p>It has demonstrated its commitment to the betterment of the lives of Namibians through demonstrations to assist oppressed workers get justice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStand with us; stand for a future where no Namibian is left behind.<\/p>\n<p>A future where our resources benefit all our people, not just select a few,\u201d the businessman and politician appealed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Namibia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
