The general registration of voters (GRV) started well in the Oshana Region, with only a few hiccups recorded at some of the registration points the nbc News team visited this morning.
The elderly and the young made their way to registration points to register on time to avoid last-minute registration.
Among the first people who woke up early to register at Omashaka puKamanya were Oshana Governor Elia Irimari, Ondangwa Urban Constituency Councillor Ronny Negonga, and two pensioners, Lahja Kornelius and Epifania Simon.
Ondangwa residents described the late President Dr. Hage Geingob as a great leader and unifier who made significant contributions to Namibia and the world at large.
Some pronounced him a man of good character, a trustworthy person, and a hardworking, peace-loving man.
The residents made these remarks during the candle-lighting ceremony in honour of the late President, which was organised by the Ondangwa Town Council at Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Secondary School's sports field.
