The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,
Nicolás Maduro, congratulated the People of Namibia this Tuesday after the election of
Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah as the first president of the African country since it achieved independence in 1990.
“With great joy, I congratulate the brotherly people of Namibia on
the result of the general elections of November 27, where the historic party of their independence, the People's
Organization of Southwest Africa (SWAPO),
won the popular victory, together with the leadership of
an extraordinary woman,” said the Venezuelan Head of State through his Telegram channel.
In his message, the Dignitary wished “the greatest success”
to the new president, “so that we continue to strengthen friendship in defense of the sovereignty of
our peoples, as well as work to build a multicentric and multipolar world”.
With 65.57% of the votes counted, the results
published Tuesday morning on the electoral commission's website showed
that the ruling party's 72-year-old candidate, Nandi-Ndaitwah, won 54.82% of the votes.
