The 2015 regional elections saw SWAPO obtain 58.4% of the votes cast (2010: 48.9%) and win five of the seven constituencies. The National Unity Democratic Organisation (NUDO) won two, Okakarara and Omatako. The same two constituencies went to NUDO again in the 2020 regional election. SWAPO's support dropped to 44.3%, but it won the other five constituencies again. NUDO overall obtained 14.1% of the popular vote in this election. The upstart Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), an opposition party formed in August 2020, obtained 12.9% overall, and the Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) got 11.9%, but both did not get close to winning any single constituency.
