[PODCAST]

Namibia’s opposition party has said it will not recognise results from this week’s general election, where there have been logistical problems and voting was extended in several places.

In a statement on Saturday, Panduleni Itula, the presidential candidate for the opposition Independent Patriots for Change, or IPC, alleged there had been “glaring and undeniable” electoral malpractices.

He had been aiming to defeat the candidate for Swapo, which has been in power since independence in 1990.
