Landless People's Movement (Namibia)

The Landless People's Movement (LPM) is a political party in Namibia.

It is led by former deputy Minister of lands and resettlement Bernadus Swartbooi, who serves as its President and chief change campaigner, and Henny Seibeb, the party's deputy leader.

[8] The Landless People's Movement was formed after Bernadus Swartbooi, deputy minister of land reform, was fired by the late former President Hage Geingob in December 2016 after refusing to apologise to then Land Reform Minister Utoni Nujoma, whom he accused of resettling people from other regions into the south of the country ahead of the Nama.

The party took part in the 2024 Namibian general election and gained one seat in the Parliament of Namibia, in addition to its previous four seats, which the party won in the 2019 Namibian general election.
