However, Geingob was ineligible to seek reelection due to constitutional limits on the president’s terms in office. The ruling SWAPO Party’s presidential candidate, Nandi-Ndaitwah, has the potential to become the country’s first female head of state if elected. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
