More than 950 students from all 14 regions graduated from the Institute for Open Learning (IOL) in Windhoek. 

IOL strives to ensure that higher education is accessible to the broader population, not limited to those who can afford full-time studies.

Omusati Electoral Officer Elizabeth Shiningayamwe has expressed concerns about the insufficient number of vehicles needed from the public for the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) during the Presidential and National Assembly Elections in her region.

The spokesperson of the polling officials who were threatening to boycott elections in the Kavango West Region if the ECN did not increase their training rate was informed by the Regional Electoral Officer, Elizabeth Visagie, that the commission would no longer be needing his services. 

Some 5,042 police officers will be deployed to 2,521 polling teams, covering 4,677 polling stations countrywide, in preparation for the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Wednesday.

Election materials are being deployed at the Otavi Depot in the Otjozondjupa Region.

According to ECN Electoral Officer Victoria Amutenya, the region has 207 teams.
