A new entrant to Namibia's political landscape has been announced.

The United Namibians Party (UNP) has applied to the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) to be registered as a political party.

The leader of the official opposition, McHenry Venaani, is calling for the establishment of a Water and Rural Development Commission.

The High Court Judges Hosea Angula, Beatrix Jagger, and Thomas Masuku will deliver judgement on the matter in which the Namibian Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) have taken the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) to court after the ECN deregistered NEFF as a political party within seven working days.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has surpassed the one million mark in voter registration.

Those who have not registered yet only have nine days to register, and the date will not be extended.

The general voter registration, which started on the 3rd of June, ends next week Thursday.

Eligible voters who turn 18 years old after the voter registration period will not be able to register due to there being no provision for such in the Electoral Act.

The low number of eligible voters registering to vote in the November elections continues to be a cause for concern.

The Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) and the Christian Democratic Voice (CDV) are challenging their deregistration by the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) over their non-compliance with the Electoral Act of 2014. 

The first day of election registration started at a slow pace in the Kavango East Region, and Electoral Commission of Namibia Commissioner Gerson Sindano has expressed his disappointment over it.

The National Assembly has announced a recess period from April 30th to June 4th, 2024, marking a break in the 9th Session of the Seventh Parliament.
