Namibia general election 2024: President of the Republic

Final count

Final result as published by the ECN Chairperson under Electoral Act 2014 s.113(1): Government Notice No. 1 of 2025, signed Windhoek 19 Dec 2024, Government Gazette No. 8555 of 3 Jan 2025 (ECN's copy of the gazette; byte-identical to the copy at archive.gazettes.africa). 15 candidates; votes per candidate and the total votes counted (1,099,582 = totalVotes) are the gazette's Columns 1-2, and the rows add up to exactly that total. The gazette declares Nandi-Ndaitwah, Netumbo Ndemupelila (SWAPO) duly elected with effect from 21 Mar 2025, with 638,560 votes (58.07% of votes counted, so no second ballot under Constitution art. 28(2)(b)). The gazette prints the NEFF candidate as 'Mulinasho' only; the full name 'Mukwiilongo, Jan Epafras Mulinasho' is from GN 2 of 2025 (list of members) and the NPA report's Table 17. The gazette gives no ballots cast for this race, so ballots is left out: the ECN's 2024 NPA Election Report s.3.4.1.9.1 gives 14,552 rejected votes, and its Table 18 'SUB-TOTAL' row gives 1,099,586 valid, 14,552 rejected and 1,114,138 votes cast (4 valid votes more than the gazette), so turnout is about 76.9% of the register. electorate 1,449,569 is the final voters' register, ECN 2024 NPA Election Report s.2.9.2 'Final Voters' Register' (p. 62: 'the FVR was produced with 1 449,569 registered voters representing 90% of the eligible voters'; the register table on p. 67 totals 1,449,569), the same figure as the 'SUB-TOTAL' registered voters in its Tables 18 and 20. Licence: Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Act 6 of 1994 (GG 845, 5 May 1994), s.15(8): 'No copyright shall subsist in - (a) the official text of any work of a legislative, administrative or legal nature, or an official translation thereof; ...' (read 5 Oct 2026 in the consolidated text on WIPO Lex, https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/legislation/details/21262, as amended to Act 8 of 2016, and in the GG 845 print, p. 23). The subsection sits in s.15 ('General exceptions regarding protection of literary and musical works'), after s.15(7) and before s.16 ('In addition to reproductions permitted ...'), so it is s.15(8)(a), not s.16(8)(a) as earlier notes had it. The counts are the ECN's notices under Electoral Act s.113(1) published in the Government Gazette, an official text of an administrative nature; per Chris's ruling of 5 Oct 2026 that exclusion overrides the ECN website's non-commercial terms (Disclaimer Policy cl. 3.1-3.2). Published by Electoral Commission of Namibia (Government Gazette No. 8555, Government Notice No. 1 of 2025), 3 Jan 2025: ecn.na/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Results-publication-2024PNA.pdf. Namibia Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Act 6 of 1994, s.15(8)(a): no copyright subsists in the official text of any work of a legislative, administrative or legal nature (Government Gazette No. 8555); ECN website terms (non-commercial) do not apply to the gazetted text.
