Keetmanshoop Urban

It comprises the city of Keetmanshoop, except the Krönlein suburb, covering an area of 524 km2 (202 sq mi).

[4] Keetmanshoop Rural is traditionally a stronghold of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) party.

[5] In the 2015 regional elections Councillor Nicanor (SWAPO) was again reelected with 2,291 votes.

[6][7] After councillor Nicanor was fielded as a parliamentary candidate in the 2019 Namibian general election, a by-election became necessary for Keetmannshoop Urban because Namibian electoral law prohibits sitting councillors and members of the public service to run for a seat in parliament.

Considering that the next regional election was only months away, the Electoral Commission of Namibia decided to keep the councillor position vacant until then.
