Namibians go to the polls today to elect a president and members of the country’s 96-seater National Assembly.
 
Thousands of voters are expected to cast their ballots across the over 4,000 polling units in 14 regions of the southern African nation.
 
The Electoral Commission of Namibia, Chair Notemba Tjipueja, has urged all eligible citizens to turn out to cast their ballots and help entrench the electoral and democratic culture of the country.
 
The commission has also promised to deliver a credible election despite the opposition concerns over the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs), claiming the absence of paper records raises prospects of fraud.
 
Incumbent President Hage Geingob and ten other candidates are vying for the top seat in one of the most mineral-rich countries.
