Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah was sworn in as Namibia's first female president following a successful election, where her SWAPO party secured both presidential and parliamentary positions. With a strong emphasis on tackling youth unemployment, she plans to invest strategically in infrastructure, agriculture, green energy, and universal health coverage. Her inauguration was significant not only for its historical context but also coincided with Namibia's 35th independence anniversary. This event also saw the election of the parliament's first female speaker, indicating a progressive shift in the nation's politics towards gender representation.
"We will increase investment in the development of infrastructure to open investment opportunities, enhance economic productivity, promote economic growth and improve the quality of life of our people."
Nandi-Ndaitwah's inauguration signifies a notable advancement in gender representation, with her becoming only the latest woman leader in a continent seeing a slow but steady rise in female political figures.
