Tangeni Iijambo
Tangeni Iijambo (born 24 November 1954) is a Namibian politician and academic. He was president of the South West Africa National Union (SWANU) from 2017 to 2022, and SWANU member of parliament from 2018 to 2023.[1][2]
Iiyambo ran as presidential candidate in the 2019 Namibian general election. He only gathered 0.7% of the popular vote and occupied the sole seat in parliament that SWANU won.[3] After Evilastus Kaaronda took over the SWANU presidency from him in 2022, the party decided that he should serve out his term in parliament.[4] However, in March 2023 SWANU withdrew Iijambo from parliament and installed Kaaronda.[5]
