General elections were held in Namibia on 27 November 2019.[1] Ballots were cast using electronic voting.[2] A total of eleven candidates ran for the presidency and fifteen political parties contested the National Assembly elections.
Hage Geingob of SWAPO was re-elected to the presidency, although his vote share was reduced from 87% in 2014 to 56%, their lowest vote share for a presidential election in the party's history.[3] SWAPO also retained their majority in the National Assembly, but lost their two-thirds supermajority.[4] SWAPO had held a two-thirds majority since the 1994 elections.[5]
