Okongo Constituency

Okongo is a constituency in the Ohangwena Region of Namibia, on the border with Angola. It had a population of 25,698 in 2011, up from 21,551 in 2001. In 2020, it had 12,562 registered voters.

The main settlement and district capital is Okongo. The constituency shares boundaries with Angola to the North, the Oshikoto region to the South, Kavango West on the Eastern part, and Oshikunde on the West.

The constituency originally covered an area of 4,693 km2 (1,812 sq mi). In August 2013, following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation for the 2014 general election, Okongo constituency lost its western part, which since then forms a constituency on its own, Oshikunde Constituency.
