National Patriotic Front (Namibia)
The National Patriotic Front is a political party in Namibia. In the 2000s the party was dormant until it was revived for the 2019 Namibian general election. One of the party's primary platforms is representation of veterans who fought for the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF) and other divisions of the South West African security forces during the Namibian War of Independence. The party seeks to get these former service members classified officially as war veterans by the Namibian government, a recognition afforded only to former insurgents of the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN). the party has no official leadership beyond Uapiruka Papama, its acting secretary-general. The NPF failed to achieve parliamentary representation after it finished last in the national assembly election, gathering 1,785 votes (0.22%). It did not field a presidential candidate. History It was formed in March 1989 at the initiative of Moses Katjioungua as an alliance of the Actio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Political Parties In Namibia
Namibia is a one party dominant state with the South-West Africa People's Organisation in power. Opposition parties are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power. In Namibian politics, ethnicity plays a significant role in party affiliation and voting behaviour. Some parties are dominated by single ethnic groups; SWAPO itself, its government, and administration, is pre-dominantly Ovambo.
