The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) has accused Swapo of exploiting poverty and people’s personal circumstances to weaken opposition parties.
This comes after former Erongo regional mobiliser Rudolf Kahingunga’s decision to rejoin the ruling party.
Kahingunga was welcomed by Swapo secretary general Sophia Shaningwa at the party’s Erongo regional office at Swakopmund last Saturday.
Former Swakopmund mayor Blasius !Goraseb, who previously served under the Landless People’s Movement (LPM), and more than 15 members from Otjimbingwe also joined Swapo.
Most of those welcomed were formerly affiliated with the IPC.
IPC Erongo regional chairperson Aloisius Kangulu says while every citizen has the constitutional right to join a political party of their choice, Kahingunga should have first used the party’s internal structures to address his concerns.
