Churches and civil society organisations remain worried about the state of readiness of the Regional Councils and Local Authorities elections in November.

They, therefore, urged the Electoral Commission of Namibia to engage them and use the platforms available to create awareness on voter registration.

The Electoral Commission of Namibia (ECN) has deployed 18 teams, comprising 94 election officials, in preparation for the Kamanjab Constituency by-election.

The by-election in Kamanjab was prompted by the resignation of former UDF councillor Nico Somaeb following his election to the National Assembly.
