Hifikepunye Pohamba adalah seorang politikus Namibia dari Organisasi Rakyat Afrika Selatan-Barat (SWAPO: South-West Africa People's Organisation), sebuah partai yang memenangi pemilu presiden pada 15 November/16 November 2004 dengan 76.4% dari suara pemilih [1] in what has been described as a "landslide".[2] He was backed by long-time president Sam Nujoma, who was then serving his third five-year term; Pohamba has been described as Nujoma's hand-picked successor.[3] Pohamba took office as president on March 21, 2005[4] and has since distinguished himself by careful but decisive moves against corruption. Prior to this, he was the Minister of public land.
Dia didukung presiden sebelumnya, Sam Nujoma, yang saat itu sedang menjabat untuk masa bakti lima tahun ketiganya; Pohamba sering dianggap sebagai pengganti pilihan Nujoma sendiri. Pohamba mulai bertugas menjadi presiden sejak 21 Maret 2005.
