Political analysts say Namibia may be entering a new political era as former President Sam Nujoma prepares to step down as head of the ruling SWAPO party at next week's party congress and several former SWAPO stalwarts defect to form a new opposition party.
Lindeke says the opposition party has voiced some legitimate policy issues. But he attributes the split primarily to internal power struggles.
Lindeke says it remains to be seen,

"The significance is that you have a major rupture at least within the top leadership of SWAPO that redefines politics in terms of how government has done since independence,

Several other senior government and state company officials have also defected to the new party.
Hametunya has resigned his seat in parliament and on SWAPO's central committee.

However, the party split has caused dismay within SWAPO and has led to calls for members to pledge an oath of loyalty or face dismissal from their positions.
Former Foreign Minister Hidipo Hametunya last week launched the Rally for Democracy and Progress. He told VOA Namibia needs a change.
Hametunya says his new party wants to address inequalities in the Namibian economy whose impressive growth has failed to benefit the estimated 55 percent of the population that lives on less than two dollars per day.

SWAPO has dominated Namibian politics since independence in 1990 but is set for a change of leadership as Mr. Nujoma prepares to step down at next week's party congress. Four candidates have been proposed for the party's senior leadership and one is expected to become the SWAPO presidential candidate in elections due in two years.
"The new leadership that will come next with SWAPO or the opposition party leadership, both factions are emphasizing accomplishment and getting things done," he said. "So I think whichever direction it works, it's liable to improve governance."
