Namibia Elects First Female President in Contested Election Outcome
ai generated text
Namibia's vice president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has been elected as the country's first female president. Official results show she secured 57% of the valid votes, surpassing the required 50% threshold. The election was marred by technical problems, and opinion parties have rejected the results. The 72-year-old won the election, becoming the first female president of Namibia. She stated that the Namibian nation has voted for peace and stability, and she expressed her gratitude towards the people.
The rule of law has been grossly violated and we cannot call these elections by any means or measure as free, fair and legitimate.
SWAPO Wins. Netumbo Wins. Namibia Wins. Now Hard Work.
We have made commitments and I am saying to you we are going to do what we have told you.
Politics came in just because of the circumstances. I should have become maybe a scientist.
She is a stateswoman. She has been in some form of leadership since we gained independence.
