Lüderitz Constituency
ǃNamiǂNûs, until 2013 Lüderitz, is a constituency in the ǁKaras Region of Namibia. In 2004, It had a population of 13,276. It contains the major city of Lüderitz, after which the constituency was originally named.
In 2013 Namibia's president Hifikepunye Pohamba stated that "I have accepted the [4th Delimitation] Commission's recommendation that Lüderitz Constituency be renamed ǃNamiǂNûs Constituency which was the original name of the area. This includes the current town of Lüderitz". Arguments flared up whether or not this implied a name change of the town Lüderitz to ǃNamiǂNûs. The current interpretation of the statement is that only the constituency has been renamed.
In the 2010 regional elections, SWAPO's Jan Albertus Scholtz won the constituency with 3,526 votes. His only challenger was Phyllicia Maree’ Hercules of the Rally for Democracy and Progress, who received 559 votes. In the 2015 regional elections Swapo won the constituency without any contesting opposition candidate.
