Oshakati West constituency (red) in the Oshana Region (yellow)

Oshakati West is an electoral constituency in the Oshana Region of Namibia. It contains the western parts of the town of Oshakati. The constituency had 20,015 inhabitants in 2004[1] and 15,120 registered voters in 2020.[2]

Oshakati West was created in 1998. Following a recommendation of the Second Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 1998 general election, the old Oshakati Constituency was split into Oshakati East and Oshakati West.[3] The Okatana River separates the two constituencies.[4]
