Nkurenkuru Constituency is an electoral constituency in the Kavango West Region of Namibia. It was created in August 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election.[1] The administrative centre of Nkurenkuru Constituency is the town of Nkurenkuru.[2] Before the administrative change in 2013 the area of this constituency, including the town of Nkurenkuru, was part of Mpungu Constituency in the Kavango Region.[3]
Politics
As in all Kavango West constituencies, SWAPO won the 2015 regional election by a landslide. Damian Haikera Nakambare received 1,936 votes, followed by Markus Hambyuka of the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP, 79 votes).[4] For the 2020 regional election no opposition candidate was fielded,[5] and Tenga Fillipus Ndara, the SWAPO candidate, was duly elected.[6]
