Namibian politician Adolf Hitler Uunona has retained his seat for the fifth time in a row, after reportedly winning the Wednesday local elections in his constituency, Euronews<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Uunona has represented Ompundja in the Oshana region since 2004 as a member of the South West Africa People’s Organisation.<\/p>\n

While Namibia’s Electoral Commission has yet to release the official vote count, Uunona won by a large margin, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

The 59-year-old has been a popular figure in the small northern constituency of less than 5,000 residents despite his namesake’s legacy.<\/p>\n

In an interview with German newspaper Bild in 2020, Uunona said he had “nothing to do” with Nazi ideology. He also rejected any notion of world domination.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate the whole world,” Uunona said. “I have nothing to do with any of these things.”<\/p>\n

He explained that his father named him after Adolf Hitler, however, Uunona pointed out that “he probably did not understand” what it meant.<\/p>\n

“As a child I saw it as a totally normal name,” Uunona insisted. “It does not mean I have Adolf Hitler’s character or resemble that of Adolf Hitler of Germany,” he told Namibian press in a separate interview.<\/p>\n

The official, however, is not going to change his name because, as he says, it is “too late for that.”<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
