President Dr Nangolo Mbumba Congratulates the President-Elect of the Republic of Namibia, Her Excellency Dr. Cde. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah Following Historic Win During the November 2024 Presidential and National Assembly Elections

The Republic of Namibia held on the 8th Presidential and National Assembly Elections on the 27th-30th of November 2024. The final results were released by the Electoral Commission of Namibia on the 3rd of December 2024, declaring Her Excellency Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah who garnered 57,3% of the votes cast as President-Elect of the Republic of Namibia. Dr. Panduleni Itula came second with 25, 50% of the votes cast in the Presidential election. With regard to the National Assembly elections, the SWAPO Party won a majority 51 seats, followed by the Independent Patriots for Change with 20 seats out of the 96 seats in the National Assembly.

In his message of congratulations to the President-Elect and the Incoming Members of the 8th National Assembly, President Nangolo Mbumba says:

“The Namibian people have spoken. Namibians in their majority wrote a new chapter in the history of their constitutional democracy by electing the first female President of the Republic of Namibia, Her Excellency Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. On behalf of the people and the Government of the Republic of Namibia, I congratulate Her Excellency, Dr. Netumbo Nandi- Ndaitwah on her brilliant and historic victory. I have no doubt that under her capable and compassionate leadership, the future of the Namibian people can only be brighter. In the days and months ahead, we should all provide the President-Elect with the necessary support to enable her to successfully assume the important duties of Head of State of the Republic of Namibia on the 21st of March 2025.

I equally congratulate the SWAPO Party for winning the majority of seats and wish all the candidates who will be going to the 8th National Assembly of the Republic of Namibia the best of luck. As incoming members of the National Assembly, I encourage the new members of the National Assembly to be exemplary and to prepare thoroughly for the legislative tasks that lie ahead. For some of the candidates and political parties, it might not be the electoral outcome they had hoped for. However, in a democracy and the processes of competitive elections, there will always be winners and losers. More important, there is always a next time.”
