The President of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), Faith Odhiambo, has lauded the election of H.E. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as Namibia’s first female president, describing it as a historic milestone for African women in leadership.

Reflecting on the legacy of African women leaders, Odhiambo highlighted their roles as revolutionary and visionary change-makers. “The history of African women in leadership tells a tale of many revolutionary and visionary change-makers,” she stated.

Congratulating President Nandi-Ndaitwah, Odhiambo expressed her pride in this achievement for Namibia and the African continent. “H.E. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah joins the growing class of extraordinary African women leading societies and nations to hope and prosperity. It is a proud day for Namibia and a proud day for Africa,” she remarked.

Odhiambo urged the new president to lead with distinction, paving the way for future generations of women in leadership. “Congratulations, madam President. May you blaze a trail worthy of the honour you have received from the people of Namibia,” she concluded.

This marks a significant moment not only for Namibia but for Africa’s continued journey toward gender equality and empowerment in governance.
