Namibian Politician Drops ‘Hitler’ From His Name Ahead of Elections
A Namibian politician named Adolf Hitler Uunona has officially dropped the controversial part of his name. The change comes ahead of regional elections held this Wednesday. Uunona, a member of SWAPO, wants to distance himself from any association with the infamous historical figure.
Uunona was given the name by his father, who was unaware of its historical significance. For years, he carried the full name Adolf Hitler Uunona, even while winning past elections by a large margin.
The removal of 'Hitler' from his official records marks a clear break from the past. Uunona will now campaign under his new name in the ongoing elections. The change ensures his political identity remains separate from the infamous historical figure.
