OPUWO (NAMPA) - Namibians will vote next Wednesday to elect members of the National Assembly and the president who will lead the country for the next four years, with the Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) saying it is fully prepared to conduct free and fair elections.
With just five days to go before the elections, the ECN in the Kunene Region has been able to secure about 140 vehicles, leaving a shortfall of 200 vehicles.
Giving an update on the electoral body’s preparedness for the 2024 elections, ECN Kunene's Election Officer Mike Nganjone told Nampa on Thursday that the commission needs 200 more vehicles to conduct the elections in the Kunene Region.
"We don't have enough vehicles. As a matter of fact, the testing of vehicles was up until yesterday, but there is an extension for us to continue testing until we secure the number of vehicles we need," said Nganjone.
Nganjone further called on members of the public to avail their vehicles in order to make the
election exercise a success, adding that the commission needs over 300 vehicles for Kunene.
"We have secured roughly around 140 vehicles, but we still need about 200 vehicles," noted Nganjone.
Additionally, Nganjone stated that 1,260 polling officials are currently undergoing training, with November 24 being the last day of training. He said all sensitive materials have been dispatched to the Kamanjab, Outjo and Khorixas constituencies, while the Epupa, Opuwo Rural, Sesfontein and Opuwo Urban constituencies’ materials are yet to be dispatched.
The Kunene Region has 180 polling teams and 515 fixed and mobile polling stations. The region registered more than 55,000
voters during the voter registration period.
