The Electoral Commission of Namibia has delayed announcing results from Friday’s presidential and parliamentary elections. The results were supposed to be declared Saturday or Sunday, but Theo Mujoro, director of operations for the Electoral Commission of Namibia, said the commission found mathematical errors in the results from some constituencies. Saturday’s early results show the presidential candidate of the ruling SWAPO party leading with 77 percent of the vote with about 10 percent of 121 constituencies counted. Mujoro said the commission will double check the results from those constituencies in question.
“We had planned to officially announce the national consolidated tally today (Sunday). Unfortunately, due to some verification processes that are currently going, we have decided to delay the official announcement of results until tomorrow,” he said. Mujoro said the commission wants to make sure that when it announces the results the public will have confidence in them. — SAPA.
