The vice-president of Namibia becomes president, when the preceding president dies, resigns or is removed from office via impeachment. The vice-president serves as the acting president of Namibia when the president is outside the country's borders, unable to fulfill the duties of the office. The vice-president is also a member of the National Assembly and the Cabinet. The vice-president is constitutionally required to 'assist the president in the execution of the functions of government,' and may be assigned any government portfolio by presidential proclamation.
The position of the vice-president was established in 2014 along with several other constitutional amendments. The position is controversial due to its unclear portfolio.[3] Nickey Iyambo served as the first vice-president of Namibia from 2015 to 2018. The current vice-president is Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah since 4 February 2024.
