Adolf Hitler on the verge of winning the election

Adolf Hitler Uunona, a veteran member of the regional council in Namibia, has always attracted the attention of the international media because of his unexpected name. However, he is once again on the verge of victory and is expected to be elected with a majority in the election on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 in Ompundja constituency.

Uunona, who is now 59 years old, first became world famous in 2020 (2019) by winning 85% of the votes.

History seems to be repeating itself. Early projections from the Electoral Commission of Namibia show that Onona will be re-elected with a landslide, maintaining her position as one of the most popular politicians in her country. An anti-apartheid activist and staunch member of the ruling SWAPO party, Onona has always made it clear that he has nothing to do with the famous dictator.

He has repeatedly said that his father chose this name without knowing its negative connotations, and in an interview with the BBC in 2020, he explained that when he grew up, he realized the world fame of this name. As he has emphasized many times, Hitler’s name is on him, but his opinion and behavior are never.

However, in the Ompundja region, the story is much simpler. The people of this region pay more attention to Onuna’s track record in the field of infrastructure development, addressing the needs of the community and day-to-day management. In a region where SWAPO’s base is so strong, Onona’s re-election looks more like a political tradition than a surprise.
