The Electoral Commissions Forum of SADC countries (ECF-SADC) says the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) appears to be ready to conduct the 2024 elections. 

This was contained in a report issued following ECF-SADC's PreElection Assessment Mission to Namibia from the 16th to 20th of this month.

Findings of the 20 July to 20 August Elections Media Reporting Survey show an increase in media coverage of electoral issues.

The President of the All Peoples Party (APP) has expressed concern over the media's lack of presence and coverage during their 4th National Congress, which was held in Rundu last month. 

The electoral process has progressed smoothly, as no objections were raised against the inclusion of names on the Provisional Voters Register by the deadline of September 4, 2024.

ECN spokesperson De Wet Siluka confirmed this to nbc-news.

With almost two months to go before the November elections, some parties have already released their manifestos, whereas others are still in the process of crafting them.

Election manifestos outline how the party aims to approach issues that are of concern to the public, the economy, and the nation.

The National Democratic Party (NDP), led by President Martin Lukato, launched its manifesto, outlining a vision to address Namibia's key challenges. Lukato emphasized the party's dedication to transforming healthcare, tackling youth unemployment, and promoting transparency in government.

The Swapo Party has committed a budget of over N$85 billion over the next five years if given the mandate to continue governing.

The billions of dollars will go towards, among others, massive job creation for unemployed Namibians. 

Swapo Party Vice President has called on party members to make use of the party's election manifesto when campaigning. 

The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) unveiled its election manifesto, with a budget of N$100 billion earmarked for national development if elected to power. 

The Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), led by Dr. Panduleni Itula, is calling for substantial reforms as the party heads into a crucial election on November 27.
