Des électeurs attendent l'ouverture d'un bureau de <br>
<br>
vote à Windhoek, le 29 novembre 2024 en Namibie<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Namibians returned to vote on Friday in 36 polling stations reopened two days after a chaotic election, set to test the ruling <br>
<br>
party's 34-year grip on power, was marred by technical problems.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Tensions are mounting in the historically stable and peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday's election was marked by long delays and labelled a "sham" by the opposition.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential <br>
<br>
and legislative polls, billed as the toughest yet for the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power since Namibia's 1990 <br>
<br>
independence from South africa.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Wednesday's queues were caused by many technical problems, including issues with tablets used to register voters and shortages of ballot <br>
<br>
papers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In some cases, torches used to show up invisible <br>
<br>
ink had run out of batteries and mobile voting teams had left areas with voters still in the queues,<br>
<br>
it said.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Facing criticism from both voters and parties, the electoral <br>
<br>
commission extended the vote for a second time, giving Namibians until Saturday evening to vote.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In the capital Windhoek, at the only polling station picked to reopen, about 60 people showed up on Friday, including Kluivert Muuondjo who arrived <br>
<br>
at 4:30 am.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until 11:00 pm on Wednesday but left before being able to vote as he had exams the next day.<br>

"Everyone will have the chance to vote," he said.<br>
<br>
But because Namibians can vote at any given polling <br>
<br>
station, he was worried "everyone will flock to one place again."<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The disarray led to angry complaints from opposition parties with some calling <br>
<br>
for a halt in the electoral process.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and issue a joint statement, according to Christine <br>
<br>
Aochamus who represents the Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence of <br>
<br>
a generation born after independence are challenging support towards SWAPO which <br>
<br>
has ruled since 1990.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become the first woman to lead the country if elected, could face an unprecedented second <br>
<br>
round in the mineral rich country.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd," said voter Ensley Engermund, who also said he <br>
<br>
couldn't vote on Wednesday because of long queues despite trying four different polling <br>
<br>
stations.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"Only 1.5 millions voters are registered and we get this chaos?" asked the 49-year-old security agent.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"It was to get people frustrated."<br>
