The Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) has endorsed youth activist and former student leader Ester Simon for the position of executive chairperson of the National Youth Council (NYC), setting up a contest with fellow contender Simon Taapopi ahead of the council's General Assembly in Swakopmund later this month.


In a statement issued on Friday, SPYL said its central committee had unanimously resolved to nominate Simon as its sole candidate for the position following consultations with other youth organisations affiliated to the NYC.


The election is expected to see Simon face off against Simon Taapopi when delegates gather from 18 to 22 June.
