Former President Mbumba Calls for National Unity Under Nandi-Ndaitwah’s Leadership. Former Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba has called on citizens to support President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as she takes office. Speaking at her inauguration ceremony, which coincided with Namibia’s 35th Independence Day celebrations, Mbumba emphasized the importance of national unity and collective effort in ensuring progress.
Reflecting on his tenure, Mbumba described his time as president as a period of great responsibility. He assumed the role following the passing of former President Hage Geingob in 2024 and expressed gratitude for the support he received during his leadership. He highlighted the smooth transition of power as a key moment in Namibia’s democracy and encouraged citizens to rally behind the new administration.
Mbumba’s message comes at a pivotal time as President Nandi-Ndaitwah embarks on her leadership journey. As Namibia moves forward, he stressed that unity and cooperation among all citizens will be essential for addressing the country’s challenges and achieving national development goals.
The event, held at State House in Windhoek, marked a historic moment as Nandi-Ndaitwah became Namibia’s first female president. Her inauguration represents a new chapter in the country’s political landscape, and Mbumba’s remarks underscored the importance of embracing change with optimism and a shared vision for the future.
As Namibia celebrates 35 years of independence, the former president’s appeal serves as a reminder that national success relies on collaboration, resilience, and a commitment to democratic values. Moving forward, Namibians are encouraged to support their new leader in building a stronger, more prosperous nation.
