MICHAEL MWASHINDANGE ON HIS ELECTION AS THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE YOUTH PARLIAMENTARY CAUCUS

Independent Patriots for Change member of parliament Michael Mwashindange speaks to Desert FM following his election as the inaugural chairperson of Namibia’s first-ever Young Parliamentarians Caucus. Mwashindange addresses the long-standing underrepresentation of youth in decision-making spaces over the last 36 years of Namibia’s democracy.

With young voters now making up over 50% of the electorate, the newly formed cross-party caucus, spanning both the National Assembly and National Council, aims to champion youth-focused legislation, tackle high unemployment, and learn from international best practices.
