SWAPO ELECTORAL COLLEGE 2014

The Swapo Electoral College will take place this week-end. Around 215 delegates and candidates will meet in Windhoek between 29-31 August to decide on the list of Swapo Party members they want to submit as their representatives in the National Assembly, which will be elected during the National Assembly polls in November.

A combined 215 delegates and candidates are expected to attend the gathering to decide who will go into the “pot” as candidates.

All 14 regional structures have now convened their regional conference where they elected two candidates – male and female – that will attend the ruling party’s electoral college here in Windhoek. At this year’s electoral college, the party’s much-lauded 50/50 policy will make its debut, which is seen as a major boost for the female candidates who will be looking to outshine their male counterparts.

Pray for this most important event where it will be decided who will fill most of the seats of the National Assembly after the polls in November.

Here is a suggested prayer for this and other Electoral Colleges and the forthcoming Elections Namibia 2014. (But do pray as the Spirit leads.)

Father God,

We trust You that the upright be chosen 

to dwell in our next Government. 

We trust You to cause a shaking 

so that only those who are complete 

and blameless before You will stay. 

We pray that You will cut off the wicked, 

and that the unfaithful be rooted out. 

Will You oh Lord bring to light what is hidden in darkness 

and expose the secret aims of the hearts. 

We pray that You will raise up a standard in our leaders 

and cause the rains of the Spirit to flood this nation, 

and that the glory of the Lord will be revealed in Namibia.

In Jesus Name
Amen
