In the 2015 local and regional elections the SWAPO candidate won uncontested and became councillor after no opposition party nominated a candidate.[3] The SWAPO candidate won the 2020 regional election by a large margin. Edmund Iishuwa obtained 3,477 votes, followed by George Uusiku of the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), an opposition party formed in August 2020, with 715 votes.[2]
