Zesn, observers flag irregularities in Namibia’s elections

A JOINT Election Observer Mission of the Electoral Support Network of Southern Africa (ESN-SA) and Zimbabwe Election Support Network (Zesn) has called for key improvements to Namibia’s electoral processes following that country’s disputed polls.

South West Africa People’s Organisation’s Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah became Namibia’s first female president after being declared victor in the disputed polls.

Namibia’s main opposition party Independent Patriots for Change has already filed papers with the electoral court demanding access to tallies for all ballots cast and counted in last month’s election.
