Ndiyona is a constituency in the Kavango East region of Namibia. The district centre is the settlement of Ndiyona. It had a population of 20,633 in 2011, up from 19,565 in 2001. [1] As of 2020 [update] the constituency had 6,210 registered voters. [2]
Ndiyona constituency until 2013 belonged to the Kavango Region. [1] In 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election, the Kavango Region was split into Kavango East and Kavango West. [3] The new Ndonga Linena Constituency was created from the western part of Ndiyona, so that Ndiyona is now much smaller than before. Both constituencies belong to Kavango East. [4]
Politics
Ndiyona constituency is traditionally a stronghold of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) party. In the 2004 regional election SWAPO candidate Sebastiaan Karupu received 5,870 of the 6,716 votes cast. [5]
The 2015 regional elections were won by Swapo party candidate Eugen Likuwa with 1,859 votes. Florian Haingura of the All People's Party (APP) came second with 293 votes. [6] The SWAPO candidate also won the 2020 regional election. Laurentius Mukoya obtained 1,874 votes, far ahead of Stefanus Likuwa (APP, 172 votes). [2]
