Namibia has elected its first female president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who won 57% of the vote in last week's election. However, the election was marred by significant technical glitches, including ballot shortages that led to a three-day extension of voting. The SWAPO party, which Nandi-Ndaitwah leads, remains in power, extending its 34-year rule post-independence. Opposition parties have rejected the election results, claiming they were unconstitutional, and have indicated plans for a legal challenge. The situation reflects rising frustrations over governance issues, particularly among young voters facing economic hardships.
