Namibia's Landless People's Movement has requested an emergency session with election officials following reports of ballot paper shortages and duplicates discovered at a government warehouse. Party representative Ivan Skrywer contacted the Electoral Commission of Namibia to demand a political party liaison committee meeting involving all stakeholders rather than allowing commissioners to address the matter privately.
The opposition party identified concerns in Aranos, Tses, Otavi, Uis and Khorixas, where ballot irregularities were detected. Skrywer indicated that his organization had learned of plans to destroy duplicate materials and initiate new printing, but rejected any closed-door discussions on the issue. Electoral Commission spokesperson De Wet Siluka confirmed that officials would respond to the allegations.
The party insisted on transparency throughout any corrective process, citing diminished confidence in electoral management and demanding full explanations regarding missing materials and the emergence of duplicate ballots.
