November 15, 1989 Dear friends,

One Namibia! One nationl

That has been the rallying cry for years as we worked to bring an end to South Africa's illegal occupation of Namibia.

Last week, the Namibian people took a long step toward that goal, with their whole-hearted participation in elections that have been certified as "free and fair" by the United Nations.

Enclosed are reports which show the final voting results as well as the names of the delegates from each party who will meet to draft the constitution for a free Namibia.

There was surprise in some quarters about the size of the vote that went for the DTA--the South African supported political party. Indeed there were some anxious hours as the DTA actually led in the vote count until the ballots from Ovamboland came in.

We feel that SWAPO's 57% was very good considering that the voter registration laws, drawn up by South Africa, permitted non-residents to vote, and that .thousands of South Africans and Angolans entered Namibia to vote for the DTA.

Generally, there seems to be a feeling of rejoicing--as reflected in the statement by Bishop Kleopas Dumeni ...Joy that the elections have been held and thankfulness that there was so little violence during the week of voting. In a country that has known so much violence for so many years, the relative peacefulness of the past ten days is something that we hardly expected, and for which we are deeply grateful!

We plan to publish a Namibia Newsletter within the next two weeks and hope to have more stories and pictures of the election week. But we wanted to get this letter out to you by first class mail. These are historic moments in Namibia, moments which we wanted to share with those of you who have shared in the struggle!

Sincerely. ~ ~/i~ "fJj 4& It IiJJwJ( tlwdll WM fJM 0PPIf.IJ4Ui ... " Luke 4:18 A\\OL\CPfE\T OF THE RESLlT OF THE ELECTION FOR A CO!\STITl'ENT ASSEMBLY THE OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR GE~ERAL OF NAMIBIA
