Tondoro Constituency

Tondoro Constituency is an electoral constituency in the Kavango West Region of Namibia. Tondoro Constituency was named after the town and mission station Tondoro.[1]

In 2013 the Kavango Region was split into Kavango East and Kavango West.[1] Tondoro was formed from the western half of the former Kahenge Constituency.[2]

Politics

As in all Kavango West constituencies, SWAPO won the 2015 regional election by a landslide. Joseph Sivaku Sikongo received 3,528 votes, followed by Peter Mutuku of the All People's Party (APP, 173 votes).[3] For the 2020 regional election no opposition candidate was fielded,[4] and the sitting SWAPO councillor was duly re-elected.[5]
