Namibia's recent general election resulted in the historic election of Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as the country's first female president, showcasing a significant political milestone for the nation.
SWAPO, the ruling party for over three decades, experienced a decrease in parliamentary seats from 63 to 51 in the recent election, reflecting voter dissatisfaction with the stagnant economy.
The election marked a notable shift as Panduleni Itula's Independent Patriots for Change emerged as the second largest party, winning 20 seats, indicating a growing challenge to SWAPO's dominance.
Nandi-Ndaitwah's victory, with 57.31% of the presidential vote, solidifies her leadership role as a pioneering figure among the few female presidents in Africa.
