Namibia has made history by electing Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, 72, as the country’s first female president. A member of the SWAPO party, she won the election with 57.31% of the votes. Her platform focuses on political stability and creating 250,000 jobs over five years. Despite her victory, irregularities during the electoral process were reported. Facing major economic and social challenges, the president will need to meet the population’s expectations and restore trust in the country’s electoral institutions.
