A local Namibian politician named Adolf Hitler Uunona is expected to be re-elected on Wednesday as voters in his small constituency head to the polls.
Uunona, who bears the unfortunate name says he "is not like" the infamous Nazi leader and is, in fact, a member of the country's left-leaning party, the South West Africa People’s Organisation.
Uunona told the Namibian: "[I] didn’t have a choice [in my name]... My father gave me this name Adolf Hitler, but it does not mean I have Adolf Hitler’s character or resemble that of Adolf Hitler of Germany.
"Hitler was a controversial person who captured and killed people across the globe. I am not like him.”
