The first councillor was Fani Francis Sizimbo, a Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA) member, who won the inaugural 1992 regional election and was in office until 1998. In the 1998 regional election the constituency was won by Lichaba John Ndubano in 1998. Ndubano, a SWAPO member, moved the SWAPO office from Linyanti to Sangwali.
