With the national elections of November 27 fast approaching, it is essential that political party agents show commitment to ensuring a smooth electoral process, free from irregularities. 

The Landless People's Movement (LPM) and the Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP) have both expressed their readiness to deploy agents to the 121 polling stations.

Both expressed eagerness to collaborate with other parties who may lack the capacity to send their own agents.

Party agents serve as electoral watchdogs, representing their parties' interests while safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process to ensure fairness and transparency by reporting any irregularities or violations. 

This year, 121 polling stations will be operational for the Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Not all parties, however, have the resources to send agents to monitor the electoral process at these polling stations. 

The Rally for Democracy and Progress (RDP), for example, has selected 51 agents to be deployed to constituencies where they are most active. 

The party will collaborate with other political parties to exchange necessary and timely information at polling stations.

In contrast, the Landless People's Movement (LPM) has confidently confirmed that it will have agents at all polling stations nationwide. 

Recognising their capacity, the LPM expressed willingness to collaborate with other parties that lack the ability to deploy their own agents.

Both parties' agents are currently receiving training from the Democracy Works Foundation.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia will also provide training for party agents.
