India, Nov. 27 -- A local election in Namibia is garnering global attention once again, five years after it made headlines worldwide, as a municipal councillor with an unusual name is set to retain his seat.

Adolf Hitler Uunona - the Namibian leader who shares his name with the notorious German dictator who led the country to the Second World War - is fighting again from the Ompundja constituency in the northern Oshana region.

The Namibian local leader is a member of the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) party and rose to prominence ever since he won the seat, which brought attention to his unusual name.

59-year-old Adolf, who prefers to go by his first name, has retained the seat ever since his first victory in 2004.
