STORYLINE:
Namibia’s Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah could become the country’s first female president if she wins the presidential election Wednesday.
At least 1.4 million people, or about half of the population, have registered to vote in the elections, with 15 political parties running for president and seats in the National Assembly.
Political parties contesting the elections wrapped up their campaigns with final rallies this weekend.
"I’m proud to have the mentality of liberation because having liberated the people of Namibia politically, I’m now ready to liberate them economically”, Nandi-Ndaitwah said at a rally for supporters of her party, the South West Africa People’s Organisation.
Meanwhile, leader of the Popular Democratic Movement McHenry Venaani called on voters to turn out at the polls, urging them to “to rise up, stand in the long queues and cast their vote for the future we all deserve.”
Results from special early polls held for Namibia‘s foreign missions, seamen and security services announced by the Electoral Commission of Namibia this month indicate Nandi-Ndaitwah and her party, the South West Africa People’s Organization, or SWAPO, are in the lead.
SWAPO has governed the southwest African country since its independence from South Africa’s apartheid minority government in 1990.
Two cabinet ministers were arrested, and businessmen connected to the ministers were also convicted and imprisoned.
