Some members of the Namibian ruling party are calling for the expulsion of European Union envoys from the country over a meeting with a top opposition figure last week. The envoys met the Independent Patriots for Change opposition party leader Panduleni Itula last Tuesday, at the residence of the German ambassador Thorsten Hutter in the capital, Windhoek. The meeting has sparked strong criticism from the government and the ruling Swapo party.
Vice-President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah said the meeting amounted to 'highly questionable diplomacy', suggesting potential interference in the upcoming elections in the southern African country, local media reported. In a statement on Sunday, the Swapo Party Youth League condemned diplomats from Germany, Finland, France, Spain and Portugal and called for their expulsion from Namibia .
