Local authority elections
Omuthiya is governed by a town council that currently[update] has seven seats.[4]
In February 2008, the town was the center of an election controversy as the ruling SWAPO faced the Rally for Democracy and Progress in the town's first local authority election. [5]
In 2010, SWAPO won Omuthiya with approximately 92% of the votes.[6]
