Adolf Hitler Uunona: Namibian politician expected to be re-elected this month after landslide win in 2020
African politician Adolf Hitler Uunona is expected to be re-elected when his constituents go to the polls next week.
The Namibian politician, 59, was elected with a landslide majority for the Ompundja constituency in 2020, getting 85 per cent of the votes.
Now, history is set to repeat itself for Uunona, with early projections from the country’s electoral commission suggesting that he will be re-elected with another majority.
The anti-apartheid activist has continually insisted that, unlike the dictator he bares the name of, he has no plans for genocide or world domination - adding that he didn’t choose his name when he was born.
Speaking to BBC News in 2020, Uunona said: “My father gave me this name Hitler, he didn't understand what the name Adolf Hitler stood for.
“When I was young, it was just a normal name, but when I got older, I realized that this man wanted to take over the world, so I couldn't do anything about it.”
Uunona represents the South West Africa People's Organisation (Swapo) party, which has governed Namibia since the country achieved independence in 1990.
Ompundja is a Swapo stronghold as far as politics go, so a majority for Uunona is expected.
Namibia’s election day is on Wednesday, November 26.
