WINDHOEK, March 9 (Xinhua) -- Namibian Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah on Saturday emphasized the need for unity within the ruling party to carry forward the historic mission of prosperity.

Nandi-Ndaitwah, who is also the vice president of ruling South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) Party, delivered an address at the occasion of the Central Committee of the SWAPO Party.

The gathering, attended by dignitaries including Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba, was marked by a sense of loss following the recent passing of Hage Geingob, the third president of Namibia and the SWAPO Party.

Nandi-Ndaitwah paid tribute to Geingob's legacy, highlighting his pivotal role in the liberation struggle and his unwavering commitment to the development of Namibia.

Reflecting on the smooth transition of leadership within the government, Nandi-Ndaitwah expressed confidence in Mbumba's ability to lead the nation. "I am confident that he will continue to carry out the work of governing Namibia for the remainder of the term with wisdom and fortitude."

She called on party members to support Mbumba and to uphold the principles of solidarity, freedom, and justice that define the SWAPO Party.

Speaking about the upcoming national elections, Nandi-Ndaitwah stressed the importance of unity and cohesion.

"To deliver the resounding political victory that our people deserve, it is incumbent on the shoulders of the SWAPO Party leadership to remain united and in turn to unite all our members, supporters, and sympathizers for a common political goal as has been the case over the years," she added.

She also urged party members to remain steadfast in the face of challenges, including the looming threat of drought and food insecurity exacerbated by climate change. Enditem
