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 <br>
<br>
test the ruling party's 34-year grip on power, was <br>
<br>
marred by technical problems.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Tensions are mounting in the historically stable <br>
<br>
and peaceful southern African nation where Wednesday's election was marked by long delays and labelled a "sham" <br>
<br>
by the opposition.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Some people waited 12 hours in line to vote in presidential and legislative <br>
<br>
polls, billed as the toughest yet for the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) party, in power <br>
<br>
since Namibia's 1990 independence from South africa.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Wednesday's queues were caused by many technical problems,<br>
<br>
including issues with tablets used to register voters and shortages of ballot papers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In some cases, torches used to show up invisible ink had <br>
<br>
run out of batteries and mobile voting teams had left areas with voters still in the queues, it <br>
<br>
said.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Facing criticism from both voters and parties,<br>
<br>
the electoral commission extended the vote for a second <br>
<br>
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 at 4:30 am.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 21-year-old student said he had waited in line until <br>
<br>
11:00 pm on Wednesday but left before being able to vote as <br>
<br>
he had exams the next day.<br>
<br>

"Everyone will have the chance to vote," <br>
<br>
he said. 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 for a halt in the electoral process.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Opposition parties were scheduled to meet on Friday and issue a joint statement, <br>
<br>
according to Christine Aochamus who represents the Independent <br>
<br>
Patriots for Change (IPC) party.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Youth unemployment, enduring inequalities and the emergence of <br>
<br>
a generation born after independence are challenging <br>
<br>
support towards SWAPO which has ruled since 1990.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Its candidate, vice-president Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, who could become the first woman to <br>
<br>
lead the country if elected, could face an unprecedented second round in the mineral rich country.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
"To open only one place in Khomas (the region of which the capital is part of) is absurd," said voter <br>
<br>
Ensley Engermund, who also said he couldn't vote on Wednesday because of long queues despite trying <br>
<br>
four different polling 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>
