Nam election results trickling in | News Article

Windhoek - Progress with Namibia's election results continue to be painstakingly slow, with only some two percent of ballots counted late yesterday, 24 hours after polls closed.

Just around 30-thousand votes of the more than one-million-two-hundred-thousand cast have been counted with the ruling Swapo party and its presidential candidate far ahead of all sixteen political parties contesting the elections.
 
Meanwhile, the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance party blames the electoral commission and its director for the slow progress with results.
 
DTA chief elections organiser Nico Smit told Sapa that the elections were the worst and most badly organised elections since Namibians voted for the first time democratically in 1989 and that thousands of voters countrywide were disenfranchised as a result.
