OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS DISPUTED

Nine Namibian political parties dispute the outcome of the November 2009 elections and have asked the High Court to declare the National Assembly election held on November 27 and 28 null and void. Apart from the nullification of the results, the parties have also asked the court to order a recount of all votes cast in Windhoek.

Law experts say submitting evidence to respondents is crucial, as they would be required to base their opposing affidavits on such “evidence”. Experts further say that any nullification of the election results would be based on “substantial evidence” pointing to irregularities that might have cost parties parliamentary seats or that have robbed their presidential candidates an opportunity to go to State House.

The case will be heard on February 5 and the next Government is due to be sworn in around March 21.

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving bmade for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:1-5

Please pray that -

• The truth about Elections 2009 will be revealed.
• All parties involved in this court case (Government / Electoral Commission of Namibia / Political Parties / Lawyers and Judges) will act in a biblical manner and stand up for what is right.
• Confidence will continue in the democratic process in Namibia.
• All will remain calm and that we will continue to live in a peacefull country.
  

God bless Namibia!
