The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has reiterated its dedication to conducting the upcoming elections in a transparent, fair, and credible manner.

The ballot papers for the upcoming Regional Councils and Local Authorities Elections arrived this afternoon.

Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) Commissioner Pius Iikwambi said out of four international bids submitted, Uni Print, a South African company, was selected at a cost of around N$3.8 million.

Former First Lady Monica Geingos, who serves as co chair of the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS and Pandemics said inequality is not inevitable but a political choice.

Geigons said that leaders can break the inequality pandemic cycle by applying the policy solutions proposed by the Council. 

Many Namibians continue to fall into financial ruin by signing contracts without understanding the implications of their signatures, particularly when agreeing to stand as surety.

The disregard for customary laws by some traditional authorities has resulted in persistent leadership succession squabbles.
