### Namibian Politician Named Adolf Hitler Wins Reelection
Adolf Hitler Uunona, a longtime politician from Namibia, has once again won reelection in a regional vote. Uunona, who serves as a councilor in the Oshana region, became internationally known after his election in 2020 due to his unusual name.
He stated that his father, who named him “Adolf Hitler,” did not understand the historical and political weight of the name when he chose it. The politician emphasized that he has no connection to Nazi ideology or Germany’s dark past, explaining, “I have nothing to do with Nazis.”
### Plans to Change His Name
After repeated international attention and questions about his name, Uunona announced plans to legally change it. He explained that while the name brought him attention, it also created misunderstanding and discomfort. “It’s time to correct it,” he said.
### Political Career
Uunona has served for years as a respected member of Namibia’s ruling party, SWAPO (South West Africa People’s Organization), which played a major role in the country’s struggle for independence from South African rule. His political focus remains on improving local infrastructure and community welfare programs rather than personal notoriety.
> “People call me Adolf Uunona. It’s who I am, not what the name once meant,” he told local media.
