The Swapo Party has expressed concern and disappointment over the Supreme Court's ruling regarding same-sex marriages conducted outside Namibia.

At the media briefing on Saturday, the Swapo Party also reiterated and affirmed its commitment to the constitutional provision of non-interference with the judiciary and the protection of the dignity and effectiveness of courts.

The party declared itself after seeking legal advice at its central committee meeting.

The Supreme Court's ruling last month mandated the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security to acknowledge same-sex marriages performed in jurisdictions outside Namibia between citizens and foreign spouses.
