Epafras Mukwiilongo

Epafras Mukwiilongo is a Namibian politician. Founding leader and self-styled "Commander-in-Chief" of the Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters, he was elected to the 7th National Assembly in 2019. The NEFF is known for its left-wing economic views, including calls to nationalize Namibia's vast natural resources, and right-wing, anti-LGBT social views. In the Presidential election, which coincided with the National Assembly election, Mukwiilongo finished in 11th and last place with 1,026 votes (0.1%).

He is the nephew of Leonard Nangolo Mukwiilongo, who was the first governor of the Omusati Region.[1][2]

In 2004, he was named to the executive committee of the Congress of Democrats, which was the official opposition at the time.[3]
