  The settlements of Mpungu and Mukekete are situated in this constituency. Before August 2013 the town of Nkurenkuru belonged to Mpungu constituency, and the constituency was situated in the Kavango Region. Following a recommendation of the Fourth Delimitation Commission of Namibia, and in preparation of the 2014 general election, the Kavango Region was split into Kavango East and Kavango West. Nkurenkuru Constituency was created from the area of Mpungu. Both constituencies belong to Kavango West.
