National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) said this week that there is plenty of evidence to suggest that Founding Father Sam Nujoma is gearing himself up for a comeback to active politics.
It claimed this week that Nujoma, who is currently President of the ruling Swapo party, will make a decision during the party congress scheduled for the end of the year.
The NSHR said Nujoma will stand for presidency in 2009.

NSHR executive director Phil ya Nangoloh told journalists that the stiff political air in the country came about as part of a deliberate campaign to intimidate the citizenry into supporting the candidacy of Nujoma in the 2009 general and presidential elections.
Ya Nangoloh said Nujoma has never refuted claims about his plans to run for State President at the end of President Hifikepunye Pohamba five-year office term. Ya Nangoloh said President Pohamba's announcement in August last year that he had ordered the drafting of a bill to enable the holding of national referenda is a further tell-tale of things to come in respect of Nujoma's comeback to power.
“This means that our Constitution will again be amended to ensure Nujoma's return. A law on referenda would soon be tabled in Parliament in order to make such a constitutional amendment. President Pohamba has already made reference to such a referendum in previous speeches,” said ya Nangoloh.
Ya Nangoloh said attempts to bring Nujoma back as President of Namibia have the potential to
He said Nujoma failed to bring about an equitable distribution of resources during his 15-year rule and also failed to arrest unemployment, poverty, hunger and disease.
“He has failed to combat the soaring crime rate. Corruption and numerous self-enrichment schemes have taken root under his government. The education and health systems are in shambles and homelessness has grown. He has failed to adequately reintegrate, rehabilitate and resettle ex-combatants,” he added.
