Elections Blog - Namibia voted on November 27 and 28

    19h00 is the alloted time for the announcement. Don't hold your breath! We are still waiting for Rehoboth Urban East and Ohangwena results. Kalahari in Omaheke was reissued with new figures after the previous announcement failed to include the tendered votes.

    Swapo is calling supporters to the Multi-Purpose Youth Centre in Katutura to hear President Pohamba - indication that an announcement is imminent.

    Having reviewed the figures, I think we have nine constituencies left: Reho Urban East, Mariental Urban, Oranjemund, Epupa, Ohangwena, Outapi, Oshakati West, Eengodi, and Omatako. Tobias Hainyeko, Moses Garoeb and Omaundaungilo were announced on radio this morning but are not on the ECN website as yet.

    89 constituencies announced; 18 still to go. A 15h00 final announcement must be in doubt. ECN is not confirming anything.

    The 100% plus turnouts in some constituencies are perhaps not as mystifying as first appears. Firstly, we have to take the 822,000 registration figure as accurate (I'm personally not sure it is). But secondly we have to look back at the voting trends here. I am not too concerned about constituencies like Walvis Bay Urban, Swakopmund, Windhoek West, and Windhoek Rural. These are bound to have mobile populations that would cast high numbers of tendered votes. Windhoek Rural could be explained by Mix Settlement.

    The ECN is not confirming the 11h00 announcement of the final results, but it seems it will be sometime today. Unofficially 15h00 has been mentioned.

    The ECN has now announced 83 results on its website, leaving 24 to go. We will not place the remaining results in the live blog but will put enter them into the overall results table on the right in the morning (Friday). Hopefully, we will have the final result by mid-morning.
