Ondangwa Rural
Ondangwa Rural is an electoral constituency in the Oshana Region of Namibia. It has 13,613 inhabitants.[1] Ondangwa Rural was created by splitting the former constituency of Ondangwa into a rural and an urban part in August 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election.[2] The administrative centre of the constituency is the settlement Eheke.[3]

Ondangwa is traditionally a stronghold of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) party. In the 2015 local and regional elections the SWAPO candidate won uncontested and became councillor after no opposition party nominated a candidate.[4]

- Prinse Shiimi (1992–1998)
