Ndiyona constituency in the Kavango East region of Namibia

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. 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.[2]

Politics

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.[3]
