#ELECTIONRESULTS

The Affirmative Repositioning (AR) Movement leader, Job Amupanda, has challenged the credibility of the 2024 Presidential and National Assembly elections, alleging they were neither free nor fair.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) released the official results of 10 constituencies in the presidential election and 15 constituencies in the National Assembly election. 

ECN Chairperson Dr. Elsie Nghikembua announced the results from the Central Elections Results Centre last night.

It's been nearly five days since Namibia embarked on its election process.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) is now in the process of counting, verifying, tallying, and announcing the provisional results.

The Venezuelan election observers say the participation in the democratic voting process by Namibians was a reaffirming of constitutional democracy.

The team leader, Erika Farias, said they witnessed content among the eligible voters to have a say in the affairs of their country.

Voting at the Omao polling station in the Opuwo Rural Constituency was going at a snail's pace when the nbc News team visited in the afternoon. 

The presiding officer, Ndjamba Mutjavikua, explained that the process was slow as they were catering for voters who lived in the remotest part of the region. 

Dr. Panduleni Itula, the presidential candidate for the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC), announced that the party will not accept the results of the current election, describing the process as "deeply flawed."

The Electoral Commission of Namibia will announce the first official results of the Presidential and National Assembly Elections later this evening.

With extended voting still going on at identified polling stations until nine o'clock this evening, Namibians had been keenly awaiting results.

Only 29 votes were cast on Friday, the first day of extension at the Omboto polling station in Nehale Lyampingana constituency. 

The constituency is largely only accessible by 4x4 vehicles and has not seen much activity today.

A significant number of people cast their votes this morning at Okandjengedhi Community Hall and Onawa Kindergarten polling stations in the Oshana Region.
