The registration-debacle involving the Landless People’s Movement(LPM), the Electoral Commission of Namibia(ECN) and the Deputy Minister of Industrial; Development, Veikko Nekundi, can be the most important elections shots fired in an election race that is still nearly a year away. But…. N$ 99 Namibians will do well to thank the Landless Peoples Movement (LPM) for registering as a political party which also lead to the subsequent revelations of alleged shortcomings in their 12Zip Cola .

Sauce 700ml Nekundi, who legitimately as a member of the public, objected to names included on the LPM- list. The failure is with the ECN, which makes matters worse by the answers they supply in an effort to evade accountability or they really do not know that ultimately they are accountable to the Constitution and by implication the Namibian nation. When the President of Namibia, Dr Hage Geingob, requires accountability, it includes the commission and directorate of elections. Being a statutory body and overseeing elections of all sorts, does not mean the institution is independent from Namibia, but must make sure that the integrity of Namibia is protected at all times. N$ 99 The LPM registration and the Nekundi-protest is both constitutional duty of the highest order and one of the rare opportunities for Namibia to correct and set the sails to weather election 15UHT Milk Nammilk. storms and keep democracy in safe and stable waters. N$ 99 The biggest challenge and a challenge worthwhile to take up, is for the ECN and Directorate of Elections to conduct the whole election process in such a way that the losers in democratic 24Freshpak Rooibos Tea. Bags 40 per pack contests must feel that they lost fairly. It is equally important that winners must not doubt their majorities. The democratic crises besetting the DRC, the unrest in Zimbabwe, flaring up in Madagascar, the bitter division in Britain and the Brexit vote, as well as the unprecedented division in the N$ 99 United States of America have at its core that losers of democratic contests do not only reject the outcomes of their election, but attempt everything to undo it, because they did not trust the 34Elso Pine Gel.

The ECN can play a monumental role in preparing the field for a democratic contest where the goalposts are in the same place and at the same distance from the kick-off spot. There is no doubt that upon reflection, 2019 will be as challenging as 1989 - thirty years ago. Namibians might have short memories. Namibian Independence did not happen out of the blue N$ 99 on 21 March 1990, but emerged in 1989 when first, the Mount Etjo peace accord silenced the N$ 99 last guns of the bloody 1 April fiasco.

The thirty years that made Namibia is the Thirty that challenge the future. There were no more bitter exchanges and political venom spit than the 1989 election cam- paign and Namibians will serve themselves and the nation well to remember that, regardless of the dirtiest of fights, the outcome was that opponents took hands towards nationhood on 21 March 1989. Every election after the RES 435 election was a product of Namibians, and even with all its shortcomings, it held together. So it must be in 2019, and the ECN must not only be accountable, but proud to lead the his- N$ 99 toric elections and improve on the image of those election a long, long time ago under interna- tional supervision in 1989. Standard7 Bread . (White/Brown) EACH It must also be remembered that the only elections - since Independence - that were not con- tested, were the 2014 elections. Elections must stabilise and not polarise. The LPM application and the Nekundi-protest is not a party political matter, but a matter of good citizenship that deserves to be supported and should encourage the electoral bodies to make it easy for parties to register and to guarantee oversight. The ECN can be sure that this time around they will have no more excuses left and must make sure that they do not only have to account, but do its duty towards the constitution. The LPM-registration should be a wake-up call, not a reason to point fingers. 8 BUSINESS 17 January - 23 January 2019
