Swapo’s Grootfontein election impasse deepens ahead of 2027

The renewal of Swapo branch executives in the Grootfontein district remains deadlocked, with members clashing over disputed meetings and quorum requirements ahead of the 2027 congress.

Members once again failed to agree on the way forward during a meeting on Monday.

The meeting, intended to provide clarity on the stalled renewal process, descended into heated exchanges as members blamed one another for the prolonged impasse.

District information and mobilisation officer Susan Schwarz this week warned that unless branch conferences are held soon, the district would not be able to elect a new leadership.
