Nudo gets country's first female president

Nudo held its third elective extra-ordinary national congress this weekend with Esther Muinjangue emerging victorious as party president. She took 240 votes against Vetaruhe Kandurozu’s 227. The vice-president of the party is Peter Kanzongyminja who took 241 votes against Jekura Kavari’s 231.

In the position of secretary-general, Joseph Kauandenge garnered 258 votes while Meundju Jahanika secured 204. The deputy secretary-general’s position goes to Uaraa Uapingene with 247 votes against Lesly Kauandara’s 221.

The national chairman’s position went to Elia Kandjii who will be deputised by Kapukatua Opuuo.

In May 2018, Nudo held its elective congress which was declared null and void by then party president, Asser Mbai. Two factions took their dispute to the courts, but the parties settled and this led to this weekend’s vote.
