The Damara Council was a political party in Damaraland, a Bantustan in South West Africa (now Namibia). In 1977, a breakaway faction joined the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA),[1] while in 1989, the remainder of the DC was one of 8 political parties which formed the United Democratic Front. Six of the 8 parties were ethnically affiliated, as they had taken part in governments of various Bantustans. Since 1989, the UDF has maintained a presence in the National Assembly of Namibia, with Damara-speaking Namibians forming the core of the party.[2]
