Though unity of young people in the ruling party is expected to prevail this time, sources indicate that Oshikoto region want to nominate from the floor and try push for adamant SPYL Secretary of Health and Environment Sioni Iikela as their preferred candidate of SPYL Secretary, but that seems to be impossible after their group failed to challenge SPYL in High Court recently.
