Don't be alarmed, but Adolf Hitler is back and he just won re-election this week — in landslide fashion, no less.

No, not that Adolf Hitler. He's been dead a really long time. This is Adolf Hitler Uunona, a Namibian politician who is overwhelmingly popular, regardless of his attention-grabbing name.

The New York Post had additional details:

The 59-year-old cruised to re-election despite his unfortunate name and has no plan to change it.

The local pol said he usually goes by Adolf Uunona in daily life and argued it's too late to formally change his name.

'It's in all official documents. It's too late for that,' he told German newspaper Bild in 2020.

I don't know. If I had that name, I don't think I'd ever consider it "too late" to change it.

Though the official vote counts have not yet been released to the public, Uunona reportedly won by another large margin. He last won with an impressive 85% of the vote in 2020.

Locals credit his long record in the fight against apartheid, according to the report.

In the same interview with the German paper, Uunona said his father gave him the name without understanding its dark history.

'As a child, I saw it as a totally normal name,' Uunona said.

Nope. Not normal. At least not in the last 90 or so years.

You know, maybe this is that fella Kanye West has been rapping about! Uunona insisted he rejects Nazi ideology and any dreams of world domination.

'It wasn't until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate the whole world,' Uunona said. 'I have nothing to do with any of these things.'

Good to know, Adolf.

Let's keep it that way.
