Swapo Party Secretary General Sophia Shaningwa has called for a mass turnout of voters for the Guinas Constituency by-election to be held this Friday.

Various opposition political parties gathered in Windhoek ahead of the High Court hearing on the National Assembly election dispute tomorrow and expressed their support for the cases filed by the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) and the Landless People's Movement (LPM).

The Electoral Court will hear the election challenge for the National Assembly this Wednesday, and the police chief says that threats of potential violence and unrest have reached the ears of the security cluster.

Swapo's Political Bureau member, Frans Kapofi, has called on party members and supporters to vote for Moses ||Khumub in the Guinas by-election scheduled for next week.

Kapofi spoke at a mini rally at the Ondera Farm.

Preparations for the Guinas Constituency by-election are well on track. 

The by-election, which is slated for Friday next week, has been necessitated by the death of Councillor Elias Marthinus last year.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has dismissed the Independent Patriots for Change's (IPC) Electoral Court application as "vague and embarrassing."

This is the second respondent, together with the Swapo Party, who is asking the court to dismiss the application. 

The Landless People’s Movement (LPM) wants the country to head to the polls again by 19 March for fresh presidential and national assembly elections.

The Landless People's Movement's (LPM) Fransiscus Khumub and his older brother, the Swapo Party's Moses Khumub, are the only two candidates to contest the Oshikoto Region's Guinas constituency by-election set for the 17th of January.

Swapo Party Secretary General Sofia Shaningwa has issued a formal response to two court cases filed by the Independent Patriots for Change seeking to nullify the results of Namibia's Presidential and National Assembly Elections held in late November 2024.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia says the preparation for the Guinas Constituency by-election in the Oshikoto Region is on course as per the electoral schedule.
