Namibia’s electoral commission declared that Nandi-Ndaitwah won more than 57 per cent of the votes cast, with her closest rival, Panduleni Itula scoring 26 percent of total votes.

 

Following logistics challenges and a three-day extension to polling in some parts of the country, Itula is disputing the election result, alleging that the process was “deeply flawed”.
