The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) has gone fishing. Its leader, Panduleni Itula, whose eloquence captivated the nation ahead of both the 2019 and 2020 elections, has also vanished from the radar.
With so much happening in the country, IPC - which for context is the ruling party in the Erongo Region - is nowhere in national discourse. The only time the party’s name is mentioned is when its members desert it.
Namibia cannot be saved by deafening silence and non-activeness. IPC functionaries argue that they are doing their things in silence, whatever that means. The party was not voted for its own sake but to help shape the narrative and direction of the country in practical terms.
For a party eyeing improvement at the ballot box in 2024, IPC is slowly disappearing into obscurity. The fear that gripped its competitors is slowly fading and confidence is building again.
Namibians are dying to know what IPC’s policy position is on the myriad of challenges confronting us every day, but the party is as silent as a morgue. It has deserted Namibian voters in their hour of need - the need for inspiration and promise for a better tomorrow.
What IPC does with its time and resources is their own prerogative. But it must account for each promise it made to the Namibian populace, especially now that it is ruling in some parts of the country.
