Namibia’s New Leadership

Nangolo Mbumba has been sworn in as the interim president of the southern African country of Namibia. He was installed Sunday, following the death of President Hage Geingob earlier in the day at a hospital in Windhoek. After being sworn in, Mbumba said that he does not plan to run for president in elections later this year. That means newly-installed Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah could seek the presidential office. If she won, she would be first female president in southern Africa. However, she may face some challengers from within SWAPO, her political party.
