The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Namibia has cautioned election officials to maintain integrity in the voter registration process and to avoid actions that could raise doubts about the credibility of the upcoming elections.

Dr. Elsie Nghikembua made this plea during the closing of a 14-day training program for election officials in Otjiwarongo, in preparation for the national elections in November.

The 156 officials have been trained in various roles and responsibilities related to managing and overseeing all processes according to the Electoral Act.

There are a number of SADC countries that will be holding elections this year. 

These are Botswana, Mauritius, South Africa, Mozambique, and Namibia. Zimbabwe and Eswatini already held theirs in 2023, while the DRC has just announced the results.
