The ECN says the decision to cancel the bidding process was arrived at on Monday.

Media ombudsman John Nakuta has released the first Media Monitoring Report for the November 27 Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Former All People's Party (APP) Secretary General Vincent Kanyetu has joined the mix of political parties contesting in the upcoming National Assembly and Presidential Elections with the launch of a new political party, the Action Democratic Movement (ADM), in Windhoek.

Popular Democratic Movement's President, PDM, McHenry Venaani has set his sights on young voters for the 2024 Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
